Organisations would like an AI tool to provide responses based solely on their own internal documents or data rather than on general information used for training the model or from a search of the public web.
In the earlier exercises, we provided some smallish documents to the AI tool and asked it to summarise these. This task extends that to much larger documents. Often a technique known as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is used.
Recently, Google has made available an experimental AI tool named NotebookLM. See the sign up to a LLM page for the link. You can upload sources into NotebookLM and it answers questions based only on the information supplied, not any general knowledge from reading the web or any web searches. This makes it possibly the best choice of AI tool for our retrievers.
