Software Chemical engineering + Ai

Before write a comment read all edits.

I am a chemical engineer with experience in building web applications. I’m considering developing a custom Large Language Model (LLM) similar to ChatGPT, but specifically fine-tuned with chemical engineering references and additional data, such as a database of chemical reactions.

The goal is to create a tool that provides precise answers along with citations, including the reference title and chapter for better traceability.

As a chemical engineer, would you be interested in using a tool like this? If so, how much would you be willing to pay for a monthly subscription?

Edit: Many people said chatgpt already enough so as chemical engineer how do you think we can use llm models to improve our tasks?

Edit 2: So the next issue with the project will be data source and copyrights

As a ChemE I already have a monthly subscription to both ChatGPT and Claude and Gemini and can do this and more by setting up my own GPT, Claude Projects or NotebookLM. I think you’re going to run into problems with finding a target audience. Those experienced with AI, can already do this with a basic AI subscription and those unexperienced with AI are usually weary of it and wouldn’t be interested in the first place.

GPT-4 also already has a ChE plugin
