Our summary
An AI assistant needs useful information to answer a question. Dhravya Shah, the founder of Supermemory, tests ways to help it find that information. He uses Jev, an AI tool that chooses from options rather than writing an answer.
The tests cover putting useful search results first, splitting long documents into smaller pieces, and choosing which sentences to keep before saving information. The author also explores whether Jev could help an assistant decide when to look up something it has already saved.
The results are mixed. In the author's tests, Jev improved some search results, but other tools sometimes did better or cost less. Splitting documents this way also cost more. Removing sentences saved space, but could leave out details that matter later.
Key takeaways
- Compare each job with a simpler way of doing it.
- Removing words can save space without making the remaining information more useful.
- The idea of choosing when to search saved information still needs testing.
