Ask-EDA: A conversational agent for tools, methodology, technology and design problems

Large language models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, has been shown to be quite effective at providing information retrieval. By leveraging conversational AI, we have extended the functionality of the our in-house stack overflow-like system. We provide a virtual assistant capable of answering questions about design, technology, and tools that our design team needs. We ingest design manuals, methodology and tool documentation, education materials and use retrieval augmentation generation with a LLM to respond to queries. We have built a private, on-premises system that keeps our confidential data in-house. We'll show early progress for this project.
