Back in March I wrote my first piece of AI-related content with an article for Boomi’s “Boomiverse” user community.
Boomi’s innovators had begun experimenting with integrations built on OpenAI’s GPT (at the time 3.5, now GPT-4), and it was my first real exposure to “AI”. This was happening in the first few months after the release of ChatGPT, and it’s what really launched my interest in AI/ML.

Not sure if you’ve heard, but that “AI” is so hot right now.
Like many of us I’ve fallen deep down the ChatGPT rabbit hole over and over again the last few months. Its versatility and overall quality of response has genuinely surprised me, and it’s also entertained and informed me in as many new ways as I can think to throw at it.
At Boomi, we’re taking it a bit deeper. Well, not me, exactly. People much smarter than me. It’s been a fascinating look behind the curtain as our innovators and big thinkers have tinkered and experimented with potential integrations between Boomi and OpenAI’s GPT-3, the state-of-the-art language model that powers ChatGPT.
Boomi is already a leader in intelligent integration and automation, but this technology is opening new doors in exciting and creative ways that we’re just beginning to scratch the surface of.
Want to use it to generate insanely cool images of fictional aliens, complete with unique backstories, you can do that. Want to give yourself a head start on the rough draft of a press release you need for a project with a super tight deadline? You can do that too. Want to use it to build a chatbot that can provide live troubleshooting on why your integration process doesn’t work and just about anything else you can think up? Well, we might be working on that.
The former journalist in me never gets tired of asking this thing questions. It’s the ultimate interview subject, and the temptation to ask it just about anything that pops in my head sometimes gets the best of me. But even if this robot doesn’t get tired, I still find myself feeling almost-guilty that maybe I’m wasting its time, or its resources, asking it to delight my every whim. Like wanting a rap song written about Boomi, for example…
