VisiData GPT assistant: We just need a big text file

[cool-RR]

Now that OpenAI allows people to create their own GPT, the dream of having an AI answering basic VisiData queries is closer than ever.

If anyone is interested in putting in the effort, here's what needs to be done: Assemble a big file (text or PDF) that has lots of information about VisiData. It should be one or two tutorials, and a list of questions and answers from the discussions, and the contents of the help menus, and maybe some history from the chat, if that can be programmatically separated to a question-answer format. It can also include discussions from pull requests. All the different kinds detailed above should be clearly marked so GPT knows in what context to take them.

If anyone makes a file like that, I can build the VisiData GPT. (It's pretty simple and you could do it yourself, but in any case I'll be happy to do it.)

I think most answer/questions are here on GitHub, you can use https://github.com/dogsheep/github-to-sqlite .

Saul has many YouTube video tutorials, and there is a way to download the text transcript of the videos.

Also there is now this, which can make a RAG from any sphinx-generated docsite (which ours is): https://github.com/jerpint/RAGTheDocs
