I’m curious to try it out. There seem to be many options to upload a document and ask stuff about it.
But, the holy grail is an LLM that can successfully work on a large corpus of documents and data like slack history, huge wiki installations and answer useful questions with proper references.
I tried a few, but they don’t really hit the mark. We need the usability of a simple search engine UI with private data sources.
