Everyone keeps posting articles about how to implement RAG, but I also wonder why there isn’t some sort of skill to help people create a simple retrieval plan, starting with the retrieval methods and connecting them with evals. This could show whether they actually improve the result and make retrieval simpler for any agent, instead of making people start from zero.
The critical part for me is trusting you with all my info. But once I cross that chasm, I'd talk to it on whatsapp, send photos, random memories, little stories, and years later I can actually interact with that part of my life instead of just scrolling photos.
And yes, you can still have the account live after you die, but that feels more like a feature than the core product.
I guess the moat is making each person's memory archive so valuable with the AI assistant that you simply don't want to move it.
We are afraid that one badly phrased message can hurt our reputation or even our jobs, so optimizing every message with softer wording, more political correctness, less directness is safer.
But the real problem is the culture underneath it. If people are constantly worried about how every sentence will be interpreted, eventually they stop speaking plainly, stop challenging decisions, and sometimes stop speaking up at all. So this is like attacking the consequences not the root causes. There should be some sort of measurement of how broken is a community or a company by letting a bot scan Slack/Teams and let the bot remind everyone the importance of lowering the fake index.
Do you know roughly what a customer is worth to you? If a customer is worth $1,000 and you’re willing to pay $100 CAC, then a channel you expect to bring 10 customers gets a $1,000 test budget.
Run the test. If it gets close to that CAC, put more into it and see if it scales. If it doesn’t, kill it and test another channel.
Once you find the one that works, that’s what you accelerate.
