March Stripe Developer Digest

GPT-powered Stripe Docs

Like many, Stripe is exploring how to best use AI. Machine learning is already built into many of our tools, like Radar for fraud prevention—but we’re in awe of how rapidly this technology is accelerating. In early January, the team got access to OpenAI’s GPT-4. As one does, we had an internal hackathon to understand how to use it. 

Enter GPT-powered Stripe Docs. You can sign up for the developer preview to see how AI can help you learn and use Stripe; we think you’ll love it.
