Velvet’s first feature was a data copilot. Our AI-powered editor turns natural language queries into SQL, returning real-time database results. In this article, we share lessons learned optimizing our usage of OpenAI.

Topics covered in this article:

  • Shipping an MVP with OpenAI in just a few weeks

  • Tactics to improve AI accuracy, cost, and context

  • How to warehouse LLM logs for granular analysis

As a result of these efforts, our copilot feels fast and intuitive. Now we’re rolling out tooling to help developers optimize AI in their products.
