About Aslan AI

Sébastien Laye is a dynamic French-American entrepreneur and economist with a passion for integrating advanced AI solutions into various sectors. He embarked on his AI journey with the creation of www.sebastienlayeecobot.com, an innovative chatbot project developed on the CustomGPT platform.

In October, Sébastien expanded his vision with the launch of Aslan AI, an AI advisory firm dedicated to guiding clients in developing their AI Knowledge Management products. Aslan AI specializes in sectors like education, legal, and media, offering tailored solutions to meet the diverse needs of its clients.

Aslan AI's Goals

Laye, a seasoned economist, faced significant challenges in using AI for precise economic analysis and report writing. ChatGPT proved to be inadequate for detailed economic queries, and to make matters worse, the prohibitive costs of developing a personalized AI solution introduced significant financial barriers.

Hoping to leverage AI to streamline his workflow as well as validate the economic feasibility of AI business projects, he turned to CustomGPT.

“From beginning to end of the project, CustomGPT was the solution. With further integration of new features, we might even abandon some tools like Bubble or ChatPDF.”

Aslan AI's Results

After a mere week of designing, Sébastien’s scientific project – deemed EcoBot – was ready. Representing over three million words of his comprehensive knowledge, EcoBot successfully gave users instantaneous and interactive answers to even the most complicated of economic queries. 

The project’s success immediately convinced Sébastien of the economic feasibility of AI-powered business projects, and soon after, Aslan AI was born.
