FEATURE: Specialist Knowledge Integration
One of the most powerful benefits of self-hosting an AI assistant would be the ability to extend it with specialist knowledge for your use case.
For example:
- A company wishing to automate help-and-support for their product with specific / detailed answers to questions about their product or service.
- A company wishing to retain knowledge about a product they developed (as expertise may leave the company). Effectively documentation that can be queried with questions.
There are many cases where specialist knowledge is also confidential - making self-hosting highly attractive.
I propose the adoption / development of a standardised "plugin" data format that can be used to further train the assistant with custom "specialist knowledge".
This would be accompanied by a self-hosted web UI (perhaps packaged in docker) that would be used by an end-user to develop their own custom scored questions and answers (in much the same way as the current website works).
how do you propose that it would be built? can you give proposed arch and how you would implement it?
I don't know how to build it, but that's precisely what my employer is searching too. And exactly also the FAQ. I think this field would have quite some potential, and it's a very common use case.
@colin-stannard @blankster Is your knowledge base as is in text format? Something else?
I would relate this issue to this pull request as a specific approach: https://github.com/LAION-AI/Open-Assistant/pull/2765
