Editorial Reviews
Review
“In an era where technological advancements have come to redefine our lives virtually every day, the emergence of ChatGPT stands as a pivotal moment in the evolution of information technologies. For consumers. For businesses. For governments and organizations. And, for you! Today, artificial intelligence and ChatGPT are much more than household words and a consistent and animated point of discussion and debate, but they are also immediately actionable tools that can deliver a mind-bending list of potential applications. Unlike any technology in history, AI (and ChatGPT) has eclipsed traditional milestones in user usage, spurring on a spectacular growth from application ideas through to development and deployment. As you journey through this book, I strongly encourage you to take copious notes and to use it as the working handbook that Henry Habib intended it to be. To enable you to create your next successful app or business, or to employ it to enrich you thinking about how to innovate your next-great-thing.”

“I started working with Henry after taking one of his online courses, where he was teaching working professionals how they could save time and work faster by using no-code tools. He was both passionate and practical when delivering his content. Particularly, he focused on tangible use cases rather than abstract concepts that did not drive real-world outcomes.
Having been in the field of AI and productivity for more than 10 years, he saw the emerging citizen developer trend where anyone could build tools and solutions quickly without knowing any code. When the OpenAI API was first released to the public, Henry was one the first to teach professionals how they can use it to work faster, and his course quickly reached bestseller status within one week of its release. In this book, Henry takes you on a journey on how to use the OpenAI API to build intelligent applications – tools that you can use to automate processes, improve productivity, save time, or build new businesses. He starts by introducing the OpenAI API and its endpoints, features, and parameters, and then he uses it to build apps and assistants. Throughout the book, he always adds practical and real-life examples so that you can start creating an impact from the first page. T his is an essential guide for knowledge workers eager to harness the power of OpenAI and ChatGPT to build intelligent applications and solutions. It enables you to integrate the OpenAI API into various domains, from simple apps to whole assistants. Henry is also the architect behind The Intelligent Worker, one of the largest newsletters focused on teaching everyday workers how they can be productive at work with AI, automation, no-code, and other technologies. He continues his mission to empower individuals and boost their productivity through technologies with his online courses.”
