SWOT analysis has always been one of my go-to tools for business insights, and it’s a topic close to my heart. In fact, my original post about automating SWOT analysis using GPT-3.5 was my top-performing blog — proving just how valuable people find this kind of strategic analysis. (Link to the original blog here).
But recently, I discovered a way to take SWOT analysis even further, thanks to a powerful approach called neurosymbolic AI. When I revisited SWOT analysis using this new method, the results blew me away. Neurosymbolic AI isn’t just a fancier AI; it’s a unique blend that combines pattern recognition (neural networks) with rule-based logic (symbolic AI) to deliver richer, more actionable insights. And it made me realize how much more sophisticated my original AI-driven SWOT analysis could be.
In this post, I’ll compare my initial GPT-3.5-based SWOT approach with the neurosymbolic AI-driven version. We’ll dive into how each one works and explore the real-world benefits of this upgrade.
