I tried it a few times but was mostly disappointed with the results. I built a superior solution (for my usage anyway) in like 50 lines of Python.
Just uses duckduckgo for search, extracts text from top 8 results, shoves into gpt-3.
(I think I got a massive cost reduction by filtering paragraphs with embedding API, but that's just an optimization.)
Phind is better than what I built, though. I don't actually use it that much (I'm not sure why—habit? Impatience?), but every time I do I'm surprised with the accuracy.
I think a big part of it is which pages to select for sources. Google Bard failed hard here in my testing, gave nonsense answers because its sources were AI generated SEO spam!
