🤖 Build your own custom xAI assistant [Free Workshop]
Create an AI that thinks and writes like you do
Hey there,
Tools like ChatGPT are great. But, in the very near future, anyone who isn't using their own AI assistant will be at serious risk of being left behind.
The ability to build automated workflows that handle entire tasks is the next step in AI.
And thanks to xAI, it just got a whole lot easier.
xAI HQ, September 2024, launching the world’s most powerful AI training cluster.
When xAI launched in the middle of 2023, they quickly positioned themselves as the underdog alternative to the more established AI companies.
But, after spending the past year catching up to the competition, opening up access to their models, and investing record amounts into scaling their computing power, they’ve proven to be an important player in the world of AI.
So, when Elon Musk's xAI team recently released their API, they also gave us the building blocks for something much more powerful than a chatbot.
Because their API will eventually allow more of us to work seamlessly with existing AI tools, and create specialized assistants that can handle complex tasks automatically.
Soon, we’ll be able to create custom tools that can:
Create customized client proposals
Respond to customer queries on their own
Turn boring spreadsheets into stunning on-brand presentations
Create personalized learning materials within minutes
Automate repetitive tasks based on natural language instructions
Identify inefficiencies in business processes
…much faster than we can do today.
Right now their API is in beta, so we're trying not to get too carried away.
But until the end of the year, xAI is giving away $25 in API credits each month for AI enthusiasts to experiment with.
And by our calculations, that’s more than enough to build an assistant that can be trained on 20+ samples of your writing and:
Generate 15 polished emails in your voice
Create 12-15 engaging social posts
Produce 3-4 full blog posts with outlines
Develop 2-3 detailed reports
Summarize 5-6 meetings with action items
Automatically. In your style. Without costing you a cent.
And, while we’re on the subject of incredible value that doesn’t cost you a cent…
This Friday at 4 PM EST, Dr. Alvaro Cintas is leading a workshop to show you how to:
Set up and manage your xAI API key for easy integration.
Build a custom AI assistant that can write in your unique style.
Connect xAI with other libraries to add even more functionality to your projects.
Currently, we’re in a small window where building custom AI assistants is both accessible and a massive competitive advantage.
In a few months, this knowledge is likely to be table stakes. But this workshop is a chance to get ahead of the curve.
Plus, with up to $50 of API credits available until the end of the year, this is your opportunity to build and experiment at no cost - backed by knowledge, instead of just guesswork.
See you inside,
Rowan & The Rundown Team
