“My company provides critical software services for customers such as Spotify, Google, Coinbase, Binance, and many others. We use AI in our workflows (custom developed as well as LLMs) but there was no tool before BoltAI that tightly integrated LLMs into my workflow. I always had to click out, leave my current task, go to ChatGPT or similar and come back which broke my flow. BoltAI makes everything effortless. It's a superpower.”
