Before Patrick Cheng owned a restaurant, he learned the food business from the loading dock. Growing up in Chicago, his journey began in his family’s food distribution business. Starting as a warehouse picker and later becoming a delivery driver, he saw firsthand the challenges small businesses face with outdated technology and systems. After moving to Atlanta, Patrick acquired a struggling restaurant and began using ChatGPT to redesign menus, optimize pricing, create staff training materials, streamline catering operations, and improve marketing and customer communications. The result? More than 200% growth in sales, a tripling of the restaurant’s catering business, and more than 8,000 free meals provided to local nonprofits and community organizations. Now he’s turning that playbook outward with NextGen, a nonprofit dedicated to helping family-owned businesses modernize through AI adoption, technology education, and micro-grants. — Explore how our network of customers is using our technology to advance their goals.

After Sekhar’s father developed frontal lobe dementia, he realized that could be him one day, and he didn’t want his own care to be a future burden for his husband Jim. With help from ChatGPT and Codex, he and founding volunteer @katiebrandt6 built @foreguardapp — a free tool that helps families claim public benefits they’re already entitled to, and plan ahead with private insurance including life, disability, and long-term care coverage tailored to their family history. On the planning side, Foreguard shows how even modest budgets of $100 a month can create millions of dollars of day-one financial protection. For Sekhar the goal is simple: help families prepare earlier, with more clarity, before care decisions become urgent. — Explore how our network of customers is using our technology to advance their goals.
