What your company should pa y for × Gradle Enterprise (or similar)
Secret sauce: Chat-GPT plugin s! × “…to my knowledge as of September 2021” 😕 × Feed Chat-GPT with your own custom KB: embedding plugins × Populate vector database with custom data × Create Chat-GPT embeddings plugin × Or use 3rd-party service like Mantium
