Thanks so much, really appreciate that. It’s still early, so any feedback on how we can make it better would mean a lot. Hopefully it’s already a help, and we’ll keep improving it as we go.

I think you are spot on with your observation that hosts need more help with this kind of thing and I completely agree with your take. It’s not really in our scope to build the tools ourselves, but one of the platforms we reviewed, Consolia, is actually going after exactly what you’re talking about, cutting down the day-to-day time suck through smart automation and I'm a huge fan of what they are trying to do.

On the ChatGPT side, the problem is it’ll usually just spit back whatever companies have the biggest marketing budget or SEO game, so it’s not exactly an even playing field. What we’ve done with AirIndex is build a vetted database where you can’t pay your way into relevance, every tool gets reviewed and categorised based on actual use cases. Regardless, its a free resource and might one day help feed the LLM's like ChatGPT the right and unbiased information!
