Scott Meyer believes that AI can help you work smart and live well. That’s why Chipp.ai’s mission is to “provide AI for all.
Currently, that mission involves helping businesses and individuals build their own Custom GPTs that have added benefits like the ability to embed in a website, the ability to show you who is using your tool, the ability for unlimited people to use it without a paid plan, and the ability to brand the tool for your business, among other things.
And Chipp is well on its way. In the company’s preseed round, they received a combined $800,000 from M25, a venture capital firm based in Chicago, IL; Cambrian, a venture capital firm based in San Fransisco, CA; and gener8tor, a venture capital firm based out of Masidson, WI, but with a location in Fargo. They also received a $400,000 LIFT loan from the state of North Dakota which comes with 0% interest for the first three years of the loan.
Currently, Chipp.ai has over 2,000 unique users, which are playing an important part in the company’s continued improvement according to Meyer. “It’s always a challenge in software to figure out what feedback to listen to from users and what to prioritize. However, feedback from users is the best way to figure out what we’re doing and what we should be building. It kind of helps us focus our dev work.”

How users are using Chipp
Originally, Meyer and his Co-Founder Hunter Hodnett started Chipp.ai assuming people would build custom GPTs to sell. This has happened, but not overwhelmingly. Below are the common things Meyer says he sees people using his software for.
Lead Generation
“I think the biggest use case so far has been for lead generation. People are building previews of their services. We have an organization called Experience Institute, which does executive workshops. They have a tool that allows you to do a workshop of sorts for free while visiting their website. Throughout that experience, the tool will prompt you to contact them or to sign up. It’s kind of functioning as a free preview.”
Tutoring
“Schools are using us to develop tutoring AI tools to help students. We see ourselves as a builder. Through us you can build custom GPTs based on your own knowledge and your own company and unlike ChatGPT, anyone can use it—they don’t have to have a paid plan— that’s one of the most helpful things. That and the fact that you can embed the tool and brand it to match your company.”
