Day 24 of building to $1M ARR Reached 80% accuracy with my AI backend by shortening the prompts and providing 1 clear example instead of 5. Big difference from older models like GPT-3 that worked better with lots of examples. Reading OpenAI’s docs helped a lot.

Day 23 of building to $1M ARR Spent all day improving the AI prompt. This has been the most difficult feature to add. Accuracy is very important. More context seems to help. I'm using GPT 5-mini most of the time, shooting for 80% accuracy. Hoping tomorrow it will be done.
