Should we build an AI Assistant trained specifically on SilverBullet?

:bullseye: What problem does this solve?

  • SB knowledge is spread across:

  • forum threads

  • GitHub issues & PRs

  • documentation

  • plugins

  • newcomers struggle

  • contributors often repeat explanations

  • dev discussions get lost in history

An AI trained/indexed on SB’s real collective knowledge could:

  • answer questions accurately

  • explain SB internals

  • support plugin developers

  • reduce repeated questions

  • surface past decisions

  • help debug faster

:brain: What it would “know”

  • Only public SB content:

  • forum

  • GitHub repo

  • issues + PR + discussions

  • official docs

  • public plugins

  • No private vaults. No personal data.

:gear: How it could work

  • Likely via RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation):

  • index sources

  • vector search

AI answers with citations

  • regularly updated

  • Lightweight, safe, transparent.

:rocket: Possible forms

  • Forum assistant

  • Web chatbot

  • Dev assistant

Maybe later: SB-integrated assistant?

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: Open Questions

Would the community find this useful?

Should it be official or community-driven?

Where should it live?

Minimal MVP or ambitious project?

Personally, I believe this could massively boost:

  • learning curve

  • innovation speed

  • community experience

and maybe even SilverBullet adoption

Curious to hear your thoughts! :–)

No. And I’m struggling to understand if there’s an actual person behind your account or if “you” are fully AI. If the latter, I’d rather block your account. The reality of LLMs as of today is they produce (and your interactions confirm this) that they produce a lot of content very quickly, some of it correct, a lot of it impressively-sounding nonsense, which distracts a lot from actually solving problems. I’m not a fan letting them loose on communities like this.
