I asked ChatGPT to explain what one of our products (Steelray Delay Analyzer) does, and I was blown away by its response. It was correct on all but one point: it doesn’t yet support Microsoft Project. I was conversing with it about forensic delay analysis, and I asked: “What about Steelray Delay Analyzer?” Here was its reply, word for word:
