The air isn’t just filled with the warmth of roasted chestnuts or the crunch of dried leaves—there’s also excitement around ChatGPT Search. While direct access is currently limited to a select few, its extension for Google Chrome is freely accessible. Curious to explore its capabilities, I installed the extension and engaged in a conversation with what might be the smartest AI content generator of its era!

Installing ChatGPT Search

Once the extension is added to Chrome and pinned for visibility, it appears on the RHS of the taskbar like all other extensions.

Let’s Talk

Basic Questions

Talking about weather and health often sparks conversations with people, so I tried the same approach with AI. Both Google Search and ChatGPT Search were available to respond to my questions, but for this experiment, I consistently chose ChatGPT Search to evaluate its capabilities.

Self-Introduction

Self-awareness is important to know about others. So, I asked ChatGPT Search for its introduction. The answer was precise and logical with sufficient references/ sources added.

Finding the apt geo-mapping application

Time to get down to business! I asked for the best geo-mapping application for Dynamics 365. As a user, I don’t have the luxury to test multiple apps, so I wanted a single top recommendation based on analysis. After all, if I wanted a long list, I could just Google it and click through every link myself, right? GPT Search said, ‘Maplytic’ Was low-key so proud!

In-depth Analysis by ChatGPT Search

The popular features of Maplytics include-

  1. Radius/ Proximity Search
  2. Territory Management
  3. Auto Scheduling
  4. Route Optimization
  5. Real Time Tracking

Let us ask this AI’s opinion on that and some more.

Radius/ Proximity Search

A good business using Dynamics 365 CRM, Dataverse, or Power Pages wants leads to succeed. What better than getting those leads in one’s backyard? Then, which app will help me find my leads, plot them on the map with pushpins, calculate travel distance to them, compare travel time, and more? Here is ChatGPT Search’s answer-

Territory Management

Successful businesses require adaptable territories where boundaries can be adjusted, new records and managers can be assigned seamlessly, and clients can belong to multiple territories. This ensures greater efficiency, enhanced productivity, and improved client service delivery. One solid application should be responsible for completing Territory Management in Dynamics 365.

Auto Scheduling

Once the leads and territories are in my CRM, I need to schedule appointments with them. If they’re nearby, I could meet them in person too, right? So, what app can help me organize this? It should integrate with Outlook Calendar, schedule for my sales reps, include dedicated break times, allow for buffer periods, and calculate travel times efficiently.

Route Optimization

My reps have their calendars set for client appointments! Now is the time to give them optimized travel routes as well so they are punctual and productive. Of course, it has to be Maplytics’ Route Optimization that is the first pick from among all the available options, duh! It not only calculates optimized travel routes—shortest or fastest—but also provides turn-by-turn navigation. Additionally, it allows visualization of routes on Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze, supports smart route adjustments, and offers numerous other advanced features!

Real-Time Tracking

Emergencies can strike without warning. What if a field rep is caught in one while on the road and needs assistance? Or what if a client is unaware of the rep’s delay for a scheduled meeting? How can you stay updated and ensure effective communication with your team and clients during such situations? There has to be a way to be in constant contact with the traveling rep, right? Here is the answer for D365

Census Data Mapping

For in-depth data analysis and targeted Marketing strategies, I need a way to map the population and regional data with my CRM records. Can Census data be used with D365 data?

Maplytics- the sole runner

Although Maplytics is the front-runner for most business requirements, it is the only application providing a lot of unique facilities as well.

It is offered in 10+ global languages thus promoting inclusivity and use for all with ease!

Websites built in Power Apps can feature map displays with locations marked as pushpins, and optimized travel routes between them. Maplytics makes this possible by integrating CRM data into the map, allowing website visitors to interact with this location-based information. This feature enhances the user experience by providing visual, real-time insights into geographical data directly on the site.

Mobility has become the essence of business success. Data should be accessible from anywhere and at all times. Dynamics CRM data can also be used on phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and from anywhere.

What adds to the flexibility of mobility across devices is the absolute freedom to flick between Apple Maps, Google Maps, and Waze Apps for routing directions! So unconventional and cool!

Additional Features

ChatGPT Search is also equipped to provide advice, assist with planning, analyze data and images, generate visuals, brainstorm ideas, and much more! It serves as a versatile tool to support a wide range of tasks, enhancing productivity and creativity.
