How Flagship uses AI

AI has become an invaluable tool at Flagship.FYI. We have seen massive productivity and efficiency boosts across the board. Here are some of the ways we’ve been using it

Design

🎨 Our designers have been experimenting with Midjourney and the release of v3 has truly transformed our visuals. Many of our eye-catching graphics have been created with AI’s assistance and what would take hours now takes minutes, but it would not work without the decades of experience of the design team.

Crypto analysis

🗠 Our market analysts have trained GPT on our proprietary framework for fundamental analysis on crypto projects. By uploading whitepapers, websites, and other documentation, AI can now conduct a high-quality analysis. However, fact-checking remains essential, as AI sometimes fills in knowledge gaps with assumptions or even made-up facts.

Programming

🧑‍💻 In a daring experiment, we put ChatGPT to the test by having it audit our smart contracts. While it did find some bugs, we are by far not comfortable enough to use it to replace a true audit. Additionally, our developers have been utilizing GitHub’s Co-pilot to streamline their coding process, work out new concepts and look for existing code.

Content creation

✍️ We use GPT a lot for creating content. We are very strict on our 80/20 principle, meaning we do the first 10% (ideation and structure) and the last 10% (fact-checking, editing and tone of voice). It’s been ideal for time consuming tasks and heavy lifting.

Sparring partner

💡GPT and various other AI tools have been amazing as a sparring partner and advisor. It terms of marketing, SEO, copywriting, researching complex topics and having all your questions directly answered, it has rapidly become irreplaceable.

Final thoughts

🤯 All and all, AI has been immensely valuable as we’ve been able to create a lot more in a lot less time. However, the technology is still at an early stage and it’s important to realize that it makes mistakes and can’t replace human judgement. We can’t imagine building a startup without it anymore though!

Did I use AI to write this post? I love writing too much, although did ask for some tips.
