I am an LLM-skeptic: I think it’s an insanely good technology, propped up by the most egregious financial scam of all time. I would be open to be proven wrong though, so please: can anyone point at decent, profit making implementations of LLMs in companies? Can you point at a fully automated saas that’s actually turning a real relevant profit? No, the promises of future profits don’t count. And no, the companies profiting from selling shovels to gold rushers also don’t count. Thanks

I mean we run https://ziva.sh, and take a margin on the tokens we sell and make a profit. It's not 80% margins like regular SaaS, but we provide a good service and the users are content

Genuinely happy you could market a product that sustains you. Yet, you would probably agree that your case is extremely niche, right? Question, if you can answer: how dependent is your product from costs you can’t control (API prices) and how do you deal with that?

Seems to me your product/service is also very much engineered/structured by knowledgeable human professionals, so yeah it’s LLMs but is it automation really?
