I’m new to using AI for my small business and want to learn more. Can you recommend any easy-to-understand books or resources that show how to actually use AI in small companies? I’m after practical tips, best ways to do things, and stories about how AI has been used by real small businesses. I want to go beyond the basics and really understand how to make AI work for my business.
FYI, Apress will launch a title on ChatGPT for developers with examples on how to use various models.
Expect more details in Q1 2024
Now for a useless sentence to keep the Discourse AI checker happy so I can post just a link. ![]()

I second the cookbooks! Superb resource and easy to follow
Remember that the cookbook is a living set of documents, the book is not.
Also, if you check the cookbook and other OpenAI GitHub repositories daily, you can often see how to use features noted in announcements. Sometimes you can even catch the changes as they are being made.
Try the logprobs one. It is very much “dead”.
Start reading their documentation, it is the most authentic and incredible source to learn it.
