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

Not quite, I tought once doing a llm project with the company information as a tool for quick guidance It is not difficult , the problem is that ,It ist not free, the largest data you want to store, more tokens you spend each search, and Perry is a lot of data.
