AI is changing the face of business as we know it. From the moment that ChatGPT launched, AI's enormous potential to streamline our work processes and improve our productivity has become clear.

However, it's not a silver bullet. If you want to leverage AI to enhance your email communication and sales abilities, you'll need to know how to use it. Let's talk about OpenAI Strawberry — a new AI tool you can add to your roster.

What is OpenAI Strawberry?

OpenAI Strawberry is the next generation of ChatGPT. It's been recently rolled out to subscribed users on a trial basis, but it's only in its earliest stages. However, Strawberry has been trained on a different dataset using a new algorithm, which provides it with a new set of abilities.

What are these abilities? OpenAI's claims are lofty. Strawberry is meant to have human-like reasoning skills. Whereas previous generations of ChatGPT recreate patterns from the data they are fed, Strawberry is also equipped to work through problems step-by-step — the same way people do.

Is Strawberry really "human-like"?

It depends on what you mean. Naturally, this next-gen model is a step closer to a human's problem-solving skills, but Strawberry can't do everything a human can. At least, not yet.

While Strawberry seems to hallucinate less than previous models, the issue of AI hallucinations — where an AI model generates incorrect information and makes false claims and assumptions — hasn't been completely resolved. 

This means that while it can be incredibly useful, you still need a human touch for high-sensitivity tasks or communications. Strawberry can help, but fact-checking and proofreading remain key. Especially for problems that have straightforward, logical solutions, Strawberry is a big step up, which might be good news for your sales team.

How can Strawberry streamline email communication?

If you're struggling to draft an email that's succinct, focused, and in your voice, OpenAI Strawberry can help craft a better message. 

From speeding through customer queries in a way that still feels personal to managing higher-level contacts, Strawberry can bolster how you communicate. Feed it your draft of the email to get suggested improvements, or provide it with the information you need to include so it can write your first draft and save time.

Strawberry can also help you maintain brand consistency across your sales team. Once you refine your prompts and figure out how to get Strawberry to deliver what you want, those prompts can be shared team-wide. Strawberry can adjust and improve your team's emails to ensure everyone is on-brand and on the same page.

What are Strawberry's limiting factors?

In short, it's the volume of queries. Each interaction with Strawberry requires individual contact, editing, and revision. It's also not integrated with your email platform, so while it's useful, it still requires context-switching. 

Moreover, while Strawberry is currently available on a trial basis, it's extremely expensive to run at a high level and may not be accessible to all businesses.
