Yeah most of my friends think that AI = chatbots.

IMO the best of uses of AI will be smart RAG-ish stuff integrated into existing products.

Like your slack example: imagine the fact-checking possibilities! Imagine a snarky message from a manager saying “you said this would be finished by Friday”. All you have to do is ask slack “is this message true?” And it’ll go and find the 15 messages where you made it very clear the feature would not be finished by Friday.

I’m also really excited for more AI docs. Prisma (a typescript ORM) has an incredibly useful AI on their docs page. You can ask it anything about prisma, and it’ll provide a pretty thorough, hallucination-free answer, with links to all of the relevant doc pages and GitHub issues.

Imagine if google’s most black-box API’s could be explained and navigated for you by an AI. A dream come true
