So, my friends, family and colleagues have asked me many a times the question: If you are not making money of this, why do this at all?

During the pandemic, we saw an increase in mental health and paid leave benefits to attract and retain employees amidst the Great Resignation. This is a huge win for employees and mental health care alike, as 88% of employers have enhanced their behavioral health services in the last year. While employer benefits often cover employees and their dependents, in this post, “employee(s)” refers to all those receiving benefits (i.e., the employee, their spouse, both, etc.).

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability.

This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
