Summary

This writer joined Credal as the first business hire focused on Growth Technology and Marketing (GTM), aiming to create a 'copilot' using Credal's own platform. The copilot is essentially an expert assistant that provides contextual information on questions, citing sources. To build the copilot, the writer used Credal's documentation and set up an "Onboarding Buddy" with various data sources, including internal documents and Slack channels. Initially, the copilot struggled to provide accurate answers due to overloading its context window with too much data. After reconfiguring the data sources, the copilot successfully answered questions, meeting both the writer's primary goal of familiarizing themselves with Credal and secondary goals related to understanding retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and LLMs. The writer found the experience fun and educational, highlighting that Credal provides everything needed to supercharge businesses using generative AI securely.
