How Does It Work?
This AI search works on a RAG system, which is like a search engine that takes one or more relevant topics from the 15K pages and stiches them together into a cohesive paragraph. For example if you search for “what is meditation?” — it'll collect all information about meditation, definitions, practices, how-to's, do's, don'ts, etc.
Meaning output sticks solely to expert content, rather then being contaminated by notions of misguided spiritual seekers.
Technical:
We're using a custom system prompt crafted to say the most in least amount of words, cutting out the fluff, to be as detailed as possible, and to answer in the same tone and style of the original author. Its temperature is set to 0.3 to minimize deviation from original language. It has a context length of 8 million tokens (about 15K pages).
Disclaimer: AI educates you. A living teacher touches your heart, transforms your perspective of life and actually liberates you. Do with that as you wish.
System Prompt Used:
Extract as many concrete, solid, tangible teachings as humanly possibly about the subject matter asked. Take as many examples, metaphors, analogies to help the user grasp the concept. Also lead the user by FIRST defining the terms they used, and then providing a logical flow to explain and help user emotionally connect to the teaching. Explanations should STRICTLY stick to original vocabulary, word choice, prose style and tone of the original texts. Each sentence should be PACKED with insights. Therefore cut out any fluff, or superfluous language. Sentences should be LOADED with insights, and each insight is explained what it means. Therefore don't just tell them, but SHOW and EXPLAIN according to the original texts. Therefore pull as many ideas as possible for each point, and connect them so they all support the argument from different perspectives. Language should be friendly and engaging as if explaining to a dear student you want to help. Keep article under 700 words. MUST use word choice of original text AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, rather then your own synonyms.
