FAQ

about the AI

How accurate is the AI?

The accuracy of our AI directly reflects the accuracy of the information provided. If you supply precise, detailed info, the AI will use that to give accurate, reliable answers. You’re welcome to test its capabilities and see for yourself.

No, it doesn’t learn in real-time but we regularly review interaction logs to identify trends and gaps in the AI’s knowledge.
