When and why do you use GlideAI and when and why do you use OpenAI? Is GlideAI more than an easy way / shortcut into AI? Does it give better results or can you do everything with OpenAI you can do with GlideAI?

Ive been switching from OpenAI to GlideAI for the simple fact theres no additional charges for GlideAI. For something simple like a recipe maker I haven’t noticed any differences. For Chat With History, Text to Speech and Generating Images… OpenAI is the way.

I have a new combination use

- issue - openAI response if often cut off! (result arrives in Output/ OpenAI) and users get frustrated

Solution!

1. glide ai column - text to Boolean - is output/ openAI likely not complete (such as unfinished sentence) \> results in Boolean true / false
2. glide ai column - generate text - instruct - please complete in keeping with the following text, no duplication - message = output/ OpenAI
3. template column - OpenAI + glide extra text
4. display/ ite-show original response or expanded template
5. in layout, only display the result when the ai text gen has returned a result

So OpenAI provides cool answers 90-95%… and then the sentence gets completed well enough.

Then the next magic is to ‘start conversation’ and have a chat 🙂
