Dear Devs,

Does FoxTrot plan to include the large language model? Something like ChatGPT but exclusively focuses on my documents.

I would like to hear Foxtrot Engineering's thought on this.  LLM's and search tools like Foxtrot are not the same thing, but they complement each other.  Search tools will only return search results that are actually in the text; where as LLM's generate approximated summaries that may not reflect what's actually in the text.  Thus, search tools like Foxtrot can be used to validate and create ground truths for LLM's, but I don't think LLM's can replace search tools.  

I've been thinking of ways to fit Foxtrot more elegantly into my research process, but I'm still trying to figure that out.

Hello,

For over 20 years, we’ve always had a policy of not discussing unannounced features or possibilities, so we shall stick to that.

If you have suggestions on how you think a feature could integrate with FoxTrot, including workflow, user interfaceand expected benefits, we’re always happy to consider and feel free to post them via email directly to us or on this forum.

One particular area of interest, as we are quite privacy-focused and take pride in making sure that no one else but you searches your own indexed data,,would be thoughts about uploading parts of that index eddata to a large language model. Which ones are trustworthy? What type of questions would you be comfortable in asking them regarding the data that you have indexed in FoxTrot?

thank you.
