I cant even imagine what you mean by "emasculating environment"?

As a young(er) American I can relate to this sentiment. Either hit big or hope the whole thing comes down trying.

It's still unbelievably limited and lackluster

any reason orders are not availabe? and if so when will they be open?

a false scarcity? sometimes this site makes me feel like i'm talking to aliens

Yes, each day the game maker creates a timely and relevant crossword. So in this case the person behind it is the loss

Because for the typical office - documents are strewn about on random network drives and are not formatted similarly. This combined with the inability to nail down 100% accuracy on even just internal doc search is just too much to overcome for non-tech industry offices. My office is mind blown if i use Gemini to extract data from a PDF and convert it to an .xlsx or .csv

As a technically minded person but not a comp sci guy, refining document search is like staring into a void and every option uses different (confusing) terminology. This makes it extra difficult for me to both do my regular job AND learn the multiple names/ways to do the exact same thing between platforms.

The only solution that has any reliability for me so far are Gemini instances where i upload only the files i wish to search and just keep it locked to a few questions per instance before it starts to hallucinate.

My attempt at RAG search implementation was a disaster that left me more confused than anything.

I notice this as well, i think it is because the autocorrect is turned off and we may just be so used to it learning our typing habits that our "raw" typing is really that bad

dont shoot the messenger, but it's supposed to be like a "butler sounding name"

Yes we've had this discussion with management before when discussing CV short comings. Pathetic offering of a program, and simply would not pass even the most basic usability tests in other fields. Microvellum afaik is only a better program "in theory." I have not heard much positivity from actual users.

I am in the same boat, daily user of Cabinet Vision. Did you know the same founder made both and sold them off within a few years of one another?

As someone who uses such software for a living, i concur. Hand drawings work just fine. Not to mention, any fabricator worth their salt will have no problem interpreting it.
