On my TODO list is to build a system that downloads the text content of all the sites I visit and dump it in a vector DB. Then make my own search engine using RAG.
I did write a script that does the downloading part. It looks at my browser history and downloads the text of every site going back years.
Ditto for decades worth of email. I want to see if I ask it for my nephew's birthday, will it figure it out?
Should be doable without much difficulty.
- theshrike79 2y agoThis is the future of AI. Apple is getting close with their attempt (Small language models for specific contexts). It'll take a few more generations to get there.
- enether 2y agoAgreed it's the future. It's a pretty obvious problem to make use of all the personalized data you have in an ecosystem and slap an AI to start answering questions. I tried something similar with Google's Gemini. I have a gmail account I use exclusively for newsletter subscriptions. I found out I could ask Gemini questions about the content there. It was atrociously bad.
