Chit-chatting with EdgeDB docs via ChatGPT and pgvector

EdgeDB has introduced "Ask AI," a feature that leverages OpenAI's ChatGPT to facilitate user interaction with its expanding documentation, providing automated responses to queries to enhance user experience. This tool complements the real-time, community-driven support offered by their Discord channel, aiming to streamline the process of finding information while acknowledging that AI responses may lack the contextual understanding a human can offer. The implementation of Ask AI involved the integration of word embeddings, supported by the pgvector extension in EdgeDB 3.0, to store and retrieve relevant documentation sections efficiently. The AI is programmed to prioritize responses found in the documentation, mitigating inaccuracies often associated with AI-generated content, and users are encouraged to report any incorrect answers to further refine the system. Future developments include incorporating chat history and continuous improvements to the UI and documentation, underscoring EdgeDB's commitment to providing a user-friendly and efficient database experience.
