What This Means for XO AI

  • Expanding Customer Use Cases. With o1 going GA and the preview of o3, we can support more complex customer needs, such as chain-of-thought reasoning and intricate decision-making. Our ability to rapidly integrate new models opens doors to advanced use cases and broader customer applications.
  • Empowering Engineering Teams. Enhanced coding integrations and expanded options like desktop app compatibility with JetBrains, VS Code, and more give our developers greater flexibility in choosing the best tools for the job. We need a few sprints to determine if this impacts their preference for Cursor.
  • Personalized Marketing Opportunities. Sora’s text-to-video capabilities enable our marketing team to craft dynamic, personalized content, helping us communicate more effectively with customers and prospects. See the attached example where we prompted it to explain our SmartAgents (close, but not quite there).
  • Unlocking Features for Non-API Users. Features like Projects and Canvas provide powerful new tools for non-technical users, improving collaboration and productivity across teams. These tools make it easier to organize tasks, streamline workflows, and unlock new efficiencies.
