For anyone wondering what Jasper.ai can do for them but doesn't want to sign up for the bullshit "five days free and we'll start charging you when you forget next week" plan, I've done the work for you.
THIS WAS MY INPUT:
------------------------------------------------
Why investors hate software development shops.
1) The quality is often sketchy
2) The knowledge isn't accreting in-house
3) There's no in-house software manager, meaning the startup really never understands how things are going with the codebase.
What to do about it.
1) If you're going to work with a dev shop, find one through your network, ideally one who has built several funded startups before. Pedigree counts.
2) Work with a no-code solution like bubble.io

Blog Title: The Perils of Working with a Software Development Shop
Blog Introduction: If you're a startup founder, there's a good chance you've considered working with a software development shop at some point. After all, why wouldn't you outsource the development of your product to a team of experienced professionals?
There are several reasons why investors hate software development shops. First, the quality of their work is often sketchy. Second, the knowledge isn't accreting in-house, which means the startup really never understands how things are going with the codebase. And third, there's no in-house software manager, meaning the startup is completely reliant on the dev shop for progress updates.
What's a startup founder to do? If you're going to work with a dev shop, find one through your network, ideally one who has built several funded startups before. Pedigree counts. Or, consider working with a no-code solution like bubble.io that will allow you to build your product without having to rely on a third-party team.
Conclusion:
Working with a software development shop can be a risky proposition for startups. Not only is the quality of their work often questionable, but also the knowledge isn't accreting in-house and there's no guarantee of timely progress updates. If you do decide to go down this route, be sure to find a reputable shop through your network and keep close tabs on their progress. Alternatively, consider using a no-code solution like bubble.io to build your product yourself.

I'm pretty sure I could have made that leap myself, although Jasper would probably say that it saved me time by not having to write the filler text. But that is pretty fucking minimal here. It's repetitive, made my points worse and didn't bring anything new to the table.
Then again, they just raised $125M and reportedly revenue is hockysticking. So, maybe the results will get better. Or maybe the web is about to become awash with bullshit AI-driven content.
If you put this stuff in your LinkedIn feed, I will absolutely block you.
