Logan Kilpatrick has been leading developer relations at OpenAI for the past one and a half years. He has supported developers building products with OpenAI API and ChatGPT for his time at OpenAI.

Google is aiming to build the best AI developer-centric team in the world

Logan Kilpatrick was invited to join Google by its executives including Sundar Pichai, Jeff Dean, Vice President of Product Mat Velloso, and Google Vice President Josh Woodward.

Now Logan has announced on Twitter / X that he has left OpenAI and joined Google to lead the product for Google AI Studio and support the Gemini API. “I’m not going to settle for anything less,” he noted.

His previous username on the platform was “Logan.GPT”. Not to mention, it has now been replaced by his name. The funny thing is that a user suggested “Logan Gemini” as a more relevant username.

As the Senior Developer Advocate at OpenAI, Logan has helped thousands of developers bring amazing products to reality. People like him are expected to prove to be a valuable addition to Google AI.

Notably, Google isn’t stopping here. They are looking for new talents to enrich their teams across many teams. Kilpatrick notes in one of his tweets “If you want to build cool stuff for devs, be on the edge, and support millions of developers, please ping me. We are hiring across many teams (eng, product, etc).” He is willing to have conversations with developers who are building something cool and interesting “If you’re working on something cool and want to chat, my DMs are open.”

The average reaction from people on Logan Joining Google is that Google AI should benefit from this addition. Brain Solis, the Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow (a cloud computing platform that helps companies automate and digitize processes) congrats him saying it is a “Big win for Google”.
