Yeah I've been using it with prompts that ask it to cite sources as well, honestly I think the best results are when I'm still interacting w/ the docs directly in addition to having the LLM look at em - still can't quite replace needing to RTFM!

My current hypothesis here is that the way to make coding assistants as reliable as possible is to shift the balance towards making their output rely on context provided in-prompt rather than information stored in LLM weights. As all the major providers shift towards larger context-windows, it seems increasingly viable to give the LLM the necessary docs for whatever libraries are being used in the current file. I've been working on an experiment in this space[0], and while it's obviously bottle-necked by the size of the documentation index, even a couple-hundred documentation sources seems to help a ton when working with less-used languages/libraries.

I've been working on Lightrail for a couple months now, just added gpt-4-vision-preview support and figured it was as good a time as any to do a Show HN. It's still very rough around the edges, but I'm hoping it can provide a compelling alternative to siloed per-app AI assistants. So many of my favorite AI workflows involve working across apps, so I wanted to build something that made those workflows easy -- and that can support a community of new integrations and workflows/actions that are simple to throw together. Would love to hear feedback & happy to answer any questions!

(iirc this was on HN front-page a day or two ago, which might be why its top of mind)

Not the GP, but I've been working on an open platform [0] for integrating OpenAI APIs with other tools (VSCode, JupyterLab, bash, chrome, etc) that you might find interesting, the VSCode integration supports editing specific files / sections etc.
Also worth taking a look at Github Copilot Chat[1], it's a bit limited but in certain cases it works well for editing specific parts of files.

Seems similar in spirit to Nushell[0], which is a project I'm really rooting for, a super interesting update of the shell/pipes framework

Basically, I think that LLMs will enable a whole new set of app UXes, and I'm trying to build a platform for those UXes. In a sense, a "shell" for LLM apps. It's a command-bar style UI with an SDK that makes it really easy to build functionality on top of LLMs / vector-dbs etc and to interact with other software/files (e.g. VSCode, Chrome, etc.). Currently very limited docs but if you're interested in building LLM workflows/tools, I'd love to collab!
