OpenAI wants to be the next big tech platform. A developer expert weighs in on how this is going.
"From our vantage point at Devpost, they are in a race for developer engagement and trust, and that's exactly the problem we help companies solve. (Full disclosure, we work with OpenAI and their competitors.) The speed of innovation means that developers have numerous options, and the companies that win are those that can cut through the noise and get developers' hands on their tools."
"Take me inside the mind of a developer. Why would they be clamoring to engage with OpenAI? What's the payoff for developers to build things on this nascent/emerging platform? The modern developer's toolkit is astonishingly rich. GenAI offers a direct payoff for most developers, assisting them with everything from bug fixes to feature development. This speed and utility mean that they, and their executives, want to leverage this technology now."
OpenAI aims to become the dominant conversational platform by launching new products, developer tools, and an AI-flavored App Store to attract creators. OpenAI is courting developers with events like DevDay and by enabling integrations that mirror the model behind GitHub Copilot. Developers face rapid innovation, multiple platform choices, and the need for trustworthy engagement channels. Generative AI provides tangible payoffs by accelerating bug fixes and feature development, driving executive demand for immediate adoption. Companies that can cut through noise and get developers using their tools will gain market advantage. OpenAI must continue building trust and clear pathways for developer onboarding.
