Story

One GPT-3 GIF raised $2M instantly for Sharif's website builder

Shaan recounts his friend Sharif dropping his startup to hack on GPT-3, building a demo where you describe a website in plain English and it spits out the HTML/CSS. A single viral tweet with one GIF raised roughly $2 million from smart investors — before there was even a defined company.

“off basically one tweet with one GIF, he raised like $2 million instantly from like really smart people when that tweet went viral because they were like, Oh, you just showed me a magic trick and I don't know what the company is here.”

GPT-3 builds a working to-do app from a plain-English description

Shaan recounts his friend Sharif's viral demo: describing a to-do list app in plain English and having GPT-3 output the code for a working app, plus a separate demo that spit out a Google-style search page.

“So he was like, make a to-do list. Where I can add a to-do and then I can mark a to-do as done. And then it actually built an app that was a to-do list app just off of that description.”
