Where can one go to learn how to build something like this with chatgpt? Are people asking a question under the hood? Like “explain these 30 code files to me”

If you're looking for a low-code solution, I've written up how we handle this here: https://relevanceai.com/blog/use-all-of-your-blog-posts-and-...

This looks like a good way to explore how we could start using AI at our organization. Say we have a PDF of an instruction manual and we'd like to make a workflow that lets us use Ask Relevance. There doesn't seem to be a way to vectorize the content of a PDF. The option isn't presented in the drop down menu. It seems to only offer CSV-related processing, although I selected a PDF as the data type for upload. Am I using it wrong?

This is really the quality of projects we're upvoting? This is a python script that calls another API.

Ahhh.. I agree, I wanted to make it higher quality, but I was working on it during this week and was just too excited to share it. Would have been happy with few upvotes, but to be on the front page is absolutely crazy for me

And that's the thing... This page should always be about sharing and encouraging people who build things they're excited about, regardless of whether it meets some technical high bar.

Kudos to you, and I hope you keep that excitement going!

So just so I understand- this is all based on taking input from the user, injecting it in a template prompt that instructs chatgpt to answer the question based on providing it all the source material? What happened to building your own models to run offline?

That's like complaining that a musician doesn't build their own piano. Or actually, it's like asking why they don't build their own piano factory. No sole developer has the skills or resources to build something like GPT. Even if it was open source no user would be able to run it locally anyway.

It wasn't a complaint. I'm just trying to understand.

When I was in school, in AI/ML classes we needed to build our own models. So now I'm guessing that you use existing models...

I'm trying to gauge how behind the times I am.

What happened to inventing wheels?

Ha! I do love making artisan wheels! :)

I agree on that. I think about it multiple times a day, but primarily I want that model but run client side or my own environment, and ideally without the content filter.

Yesterday, an undergraduate from Sri Lanka released KnowledgeGPT[1] which allows you to upload your docs and get answers from ChatGPT. It also uses FAISS so I'm wondering if DocsGPT is somehow related or inspired by the former. It also appears the Github library for DocsGPT was created shortly after the release of KnowledgeGPT. 1: https://github.com/mmz-001/knowledge_gpt

Was it important to say the country of origin?

The creator's context seemed like a good addition when I was writing my initial comment. Is it offensive or problematic?

Seems like this app is very stripped down streamlit app more dependent on API calls vs the DocsGPT. Doubt they are related.

You're right. There's an interesting difference in the approach.

AI to help me read docs does seem somewhat handy but I feel like if there's already documentation it's really just gonna save a couple of minutes? I will be much more excited when AI can explain undocumented systems to me. This feels like it can't be far away, and it will be a game changer. I guess for this to be helpful it is gonna need out-of-band info, but maybe just the git log would be a pretty good start. If yo…

We have plenty of partially documented systems, it's a constant challenge to keep it up to date. I wonder if this could be brought more in-line with production by merging documents with support request logs and even code ?

I think it would be silly to have AI _write docs_ for us! Documentation is an obsolete concept at that point. You can just ask the AI exactly what you need to know.
