Yeah, I didn't know how much that is going to cost me if I added a free trial. But I can create a demo for you if you like. Give me an example web page link for which you want the chatbot. I will create one and post the link here. Just a single page url.

I don’t mean to be harsh, but if running a free trial would bankrupt you, you shouldn’t be trying to start a company. It also doesn’t inspire much confidence in your early users, there’s been a lot of these GPT API cashgrabs popping up all over so if you want to differentiate yourself you might need to actually incur some risk.

how do you decide what content on the page to index, and how to split them to fit the context window? Amazing concept btw - would love to see more examples (like a chatbot for a more well-known site).

It's pretty straightforward forward with LangChain and GPT-Index. There are lot of tutorials on the Internet for the same like this one https://youtu.be/9TxEQQyv9cE

I don't think chunking + embedding based retrieval is good enough. It's a good first draft for a solution, but the chunks are out of context, so the LLM could combine them in an unintended way.

Better to question each document separately and then combine the answers into one last LLM round. Even so, there might be inter-document context that is lost - for example looking at one document that depends on details in another one. Large collections of documents should be loaded up in multiple passes, as the interpretation of a document can change when encountering information in another document. Adding one single piece of information to a collection of documents could slightly change the interpretation of everything, that's how humans incorporate new information.

One interesting application of document-collection based chat bots is finding inconsistencies and contradictions in the source text. If they can do that, they can correctly incorporate new information.

These AI chatbots on websites are beyond useless, and LLMs won't make them any better. When you go to the chat-based support interface on a website, it's usually because you've read the entire contents of the website and didn't find what you are looking for. Now you will just get a hallucinated answer, with no indication as to whether it's a human or AI you're talking to.

Disagree. I now defer to chatGPT instead of reading raw documentation. Even if it can hallucinate an answer it's still way faster and better for discoverability.

Even better. When provided with your context (use case, models,…) it can adapt its answer to it.

Although that can also lead to hallucinations, it’s still quite wonderful.

Sorry but I am not going to pay for this before trying it out on my content. Surely there can be a test function within the website which allows me to see what a user would experience?

You can do it yourself with this repo and only pay the OpenAI API fees: https://github.com/mpaepper/content-chatbot

Your content-chatbot repo was very useful when I was figuring out how to achieve this sort of thing with langchain. I was able to knock together a chatbot for a client's documentation site in an afternoon. But I guess the real value for SiteGPT is the ease-of-use and the client-side chat interface.

That pricing is... yowch. > Please try it out... No, thank you. Not for $100/mo without any sort of trial! It would be marginally interesting to play with it on my ~8 year blog ( https://www.sevarg.net ), but I have ~300 posts and ~900k words written. Dumb question, though... if I put all my content into a single page on a subdomain (easy enough to do, I use Jekyll to render my stuff), would the free plan barf on a 9…

I bet when chatGPT Plugins open up, there's going to be one where you can point to your website or PDF collection to load them up in the index. It's going to be one of the basic operations, these products like siteGPT won't be able to compete in simplicity of use.

bro, the pricing is very aggressive. I saw similar websites with exactly the same concept order of magnitude cheaper.

My brain just filters them out automatically, a couple new ones every day... https://custombot.ai/
