Gondola doubles revenue as its team builds more with Codex

Gondola, a platform founded by Jared Kleinstein to help creatives get credit for their work and find new opportunities, has more than doubled its revenue year over year after adopting OpenAI's Codex and ChatGPT. The small team uses Codex Cloud to let non-engineers prototype and build functional first versions of products—such as the Programs tool and a World Cup Creator Map—before engineers refine and release them. Monthly engineering output is up 25% across the team and 50% for the lead engineer, with no change in headcount, and PR review time has held steady. ChatGPT also streamlines daily operations, including automated daily reports that integrate tools like Google Workspace, Asana, Slack, and QuickBooks. Jared says OpenAI has increased the ambition of what a company of Gondola's size can build, and the company has helped brands hire 2.5 times as many creators year over year.
