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?

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.

What if instead of offering free trials to everybody, you estimate how many free trials you could afford, and limit it to that?

In exchange for the free trial the potential customer gives you permission to use it as a demo for others to try out and see how it performs.

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.

If it knows the answer to the question the likelihood of hallucination goes down from what I understand. There is a lot of knowledge on many specialised forums hundreds of thousands of question and user generated answers getting chatgptlike bot be trained on those would I personally feel very useful.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Even better, just ask your stack

(It uses official docs to provide answers with context)

Because chatbots were so far utterly useless. It doesn't seem crazy to think that given a good enough chatbot, users might prefer to ask their question directly rather than have to find the specific piece of information they need from a dense doc…

My guess is that you are correct. I have been thinking that rebranding site chatbots will be needed and inevitable. I wonder what that will look like.

Congrats :) Question: do websites even have enough information to train on and create useful results?

The chatbot can only be as good as the website content. But this is also a good thing. This is an opportunity for the chatbot owner to add more relevant content to the website. They don't have to think about what content to add. They can just see what questions the visitors have about their website and can add/edit their website content based on that. After adding the improved content, retraining the chatbot with the…

This is very interesting. It seems as though from the point of view of the site author, the chatbot's performance could be viewed as a "compiled/executable" version of the site's text. In the same way a software dev clicks Run to see the output, a writer could use the chat performance to look for gaps and bugs in the site copy.

Do you simple paste the entire content of a webpage inside a prompt? You prepend the question from an enduser with that content?:i.e. dear chatgpt api, could you answer the following question [user question] based on the following text [website contents]

You need to split content into chunk but also need to retain semantic meaning. I have been building same thing: https://chatfast.io. This also support scanned pdf and image. (I built my own algorithm, backend in c# not using llama_index or langchain)
