Great work! Thanks for taking the time to build this and open sourcing it. For me, it scratches on a very real itch. I’ve toyed with the idea of a personal AI assistant to act as a second brain, and help me prioritize and remember things with human intuition (“you can’t afford to delay X, do X today and maybe reach out to Z to set the expectations for delaying Y?”).

To me, the greatest strength of LLMs is not their knowledge (which is prone to hallucination), but their ability to analyze ambiguous requests with ease and develop a sane action plan - much like a competent human.

One a side note: wouldn’t it be significantly cheaper and as effective to use ChatGPT 3.5 by default, and reserve GPT 4 for special tasks with explicit instruction (“Use GPT 4 to…”).

For most chats, GPT 4 would be incredibly wasteful (read: expensive).

Also - it would be very cool to experiment the use of GPT 3.5 and GPT 4 in the same conversation! GPT 3.5 could leverage the analysis of GPT 4 and act as the primary communication “chatbot” interface for addressing incremental requests.
