Do you think being called a "GPT wrapper" is still an insult, or has that changed?

There is definitely way to build a moat around a "GPT wrapper": - Create a great User interface (particularly offer the option to edit and iterate on the AI result) - Combine GPT with a specific data set (as a fan of web scraping that is usually my go to).

Most people who call other startups a GPT wrapper simply have no clue how hard it is to put even the simplest of solutions together. At the end of the day, just focus on your target market.

I guess if you're adding value—like unique workflows, insights, or automation—it's no longer an insult but a sign you're leveraging AI effectively.

it's all about the end product, as long as it works and helps me with what I need, I don't really care whether it's a "GPT wrapper" or something else

Not something you want to be called

Those who dismiss others as just 'GPT wrappers' often underestimate the immense effort and innovation required to productize LLMs and create value for users, even for seemingly simple applications. The real test is whether you're delivering something people want and find useful. Stay focused on your customers and vision, and let the results speak for themselves.

Totally agree. Building a truly useful product with LLMs is no easy feat. Ignore the haters and naysayers calling things 'GPT wrappers'. If you're adding real value for your target users, that's what matters most at the end of the day. Just focus on making your customers happy!

Who cares? If your product solve the problem and provide a value - nobody cares what wrapper do you use.

I guess it depends, if you're profiling a business as something that is developing cutting edge AI but in reality just uses other tools wrapped in a new jacket - it's not an insult but perhaps an indication to not convolute what the product really is. Ultimately if it can add value to users by leveraging GPT's, it's all good and there is a good reason to exist. I personally also take some issue with all the "AI" companies that didn't develop any actual AI but are applying tools developed by other companies yet are profiling themselves as cutting edge AI companies.

I used to think being labeled a GPT wrapper had a negative connotation, but now it feels more like a badge of honor. It shows that you're leveraging powerful technology!
