Happy New Year! As we embark on another innovative year, I'm thrilled to announce an exciting addition to our community: the launch of the Cyber Builders bot, now available on OpenAI's ChatGPT platform!
👉🏼 Meet the Cyber Builders Bot
This “GPTs” bot is designed to field your questions and directly deepen your engagement with cybersecurity based on the publication content.

Announcing the Cyber Builders Bot: Introduction to the new Cyber Builders bot available on OpenAI's ChatGPT, inviting the community to explore and engage with it for insights on content and cybersecurity topics.
Exploring Bot Use Cases: Detailed look at the various ways the Cyber Builders bot can be utilized, including advice on securing software development, insights into SMB cybersecurity, and guidance on the latest Generative AI use cases in cybersecurity.
Recapping the Year with 41 Posts: A comprehensive summary of the year's content categorized under key themes: Entrepreneurship, Product Management, and Cyber Security; Generative AI, LLMs, and Cyber Security; Financing, VC Market, and Business Stats; Cyber Security Business Strategy; Events Review; Product and Supply Chain Security; SMB and Cyber Security; and General Reflections and Community.
The Cyber Builders’ bot is an experiment to understand and help solve your most important questions. Unfortunately, you must have a GPT Plus subscription to use it. I hope that OpenAI will remove that limitation soon, and anyone can use it with the free GPT 3.5 model.

Engage and Innovate: Cyber Builders Bot Use Cases
I guess you can ask the Cyber Builders bot about quite anything, as it is still GPT-4 that is answering most of the time. Still, when asked about the latest in cybersecurity trends or how to implement a robust security strategy for your startup or company
The full example chat is here - LINK.
For example, you can ask about the latest use cases around Generative AI and cybersecurity.
You can ask him to advise you to secure your software development.
Or, if you are an SMB, you can ask about SMB cybersecurity.
The Cyber Builders bot happens to be an excellent idea and a great complement to my content. I hope the Cyber Builders community will try it out and share your questions about the bot! Drop me an email at cyberbuilders@substack.com
I am leaving you with the 41 posts in 2023 that are the core content of the Cyber Builders bot. Next week, we resume exploring how to build more security, software, and cyber!
