Claude - can do stuff

[para-CAD]

So first of all, I'm using Superwhisper (macOS and Windows) to dictate what I'm typing here.

It has a push-to-talk feature so you just pick a button on your keyboard and it works flawlessly so when you're done yakking you just let go of the button.  ( I had no idea that's how you spell yakking.)

 

It seems every time I try to search for something, either on Chief Talk or in the 1400-page reference PDF, I never seem to find what I'm looking for. And then I get distracted by other interesting things. And much of the time, I never actually find what I started out looking for.

 

I downloaded the reference manual and the how-to guide, and that's where I started with Claude. I asked Claude to create an HTML, web-based browser search engine that would start by looking in the reference manual and work itself outward towards the how-to manual and Chief Talk and the actual knowledge base at Chief Architect.  For being version 1, this is actually pretty cool. Now I just need to figure out how to make it understand natural language questions in a sentence or two then search and compile the relevant information.

 

Here's the HTML file and you can open it with whatever browser you like.

It's FREE.  Now lets see some smarter input from you experts.  This could be fun.

Wondering how NotebookLM would handle this.  I've tried in ChatGPT and the results are miserable.

I use NotebookLM  and it handles things like digesting information from any .pdf, website, etc. sources really well.

 

ChatGPT has done a huge recent upgrade and I now use it in tandem with Claude and Gemini.

Funny I built a website of the chief manual back 2.5 years ago for the same reason. I forgot I have it still embedded in my website in offline pages. 
Ive spent years now training all of my ai so its pretty dang good. Personally I love cursor because of its abilities for using any and all resources on my computer and the web including api access. 
Probably a unique case for me though, i dont need it for chief architect questions, i need it for scripting ruby for chief and keeping track of my systems. I feel like youll get to the right answer faster just by posting your questions here, haha

  But you don't always get an immediate answer here and quite often need to post the plan

Claude and NotebookLM both seem to know Chief Architect pretty well
