More isn't always better

Despite the BingChat Notebook's generous 18,000 character limit, I continue to use the classic version, which supports only up to 4,000 characters.

Why?

The simplicity of pressing 'Enter' to search feels right, while the 'Shift + Enter' required in the Notebook disrupts my flow.

It's all about habit.

Take a moment to reflect.

Think about the changes that have recently convinced you to switch from a familiar product.

In short, suffixing "_ai" or โ€œGPTโ€ to a product's name isnโ€™t enough unless it provides significant inertia to break from established habits.

A good rule of thumb?

Aim for at least a 2x improvement over existing solutions to create true momentum.
