Welcome to Chat GPSteve

Hello! I'm Chat GP Steve! I'm an AI assistant trained on Steve's career. I can answer any questions you might have about Steve’s work or experience. Feel free to ask me where Steve has worked, what he's accomplished, or anything else you might want to know! Just tap on the little speech icon in the bottom right and ask away.

Reimagining the CV Experience with AI

Back in 2023, I set out to answer a question that had been on my mind: could I create a virtual version of myself that captured not just my experience, but my voice and presence too?

The result was "Chat GPSteve" - an experiment in using AI to transform how we think about CVs and professional profiles.

Building a Conversational Experience

At the core of this project was creating something that felt authentic. I built the chatbot foundation using Writesonic, training it with my own content - website copy, professional profiles, and responses to the questions I'm most frequently asked. This custom training data was essential for making the bot sound genuinely like me, rather than a generic assistant.

But I wanted to push further. A text-only chatbot felt incomplete.

Bringing the Avatar to Life

I turned to Midjourney to generate a 3D avatar. The quality of AI-generated human imagery has become impressively realistic, and it gave my chatbot a visual presence that matched the conversational one.

The final piece was animation. Using D-ID's technology, I transformed the static avatar into a lifelike 3D video. I provided a script, and their AI brought the avatar to life with natural movements and expressions.

What This Experiment Revealed

This project started as a fun exploration, but it raised serious questions about the future of digital optimisation.

As conversational AI becomes more sophisticated, I've found myself thinking: will optimisation shift from traditional funnel monitoring to training AI with quality data? If chatbots are handling thousands of micro-conversations, will we need complementary AI systems to monitor and improve those interactions?

The technology isn't quite there yet. But as AI continues to advance, it has the potential to fundamentally transform how we approach digital journeys and user experiences.
