Question and answering applications are the most useful applications of generative AI
Let's look at this most promising use-case of generative AI👇
What is a Q&A application using LLMs?
A question and answering (Q&A) application using large language models involves utilizing advanced natural language processing techniques, particularly those offered by large language models like GPT-3.5.

These applications aim to automatically generate accurate and relevant answers to user-provided questions in a human-like manner.
This approach is flexible and far better than fine-tuning custom LLM because this is much more cost-effective than letter one.
Q&A application workflow:
1. Document loaders: To load user documents for vectorization and storage purposes
2. Text splitters: These are the document transformers that transform documents into fixed chunk lengths to store them efficiently
3. Vector storage: Vector database integrations to store vector embeddings of the input texts
4. Document retrieval: To retrieve texts based on user queries to the database. They use similarity search techniques to retrieve the same.
5. Model output: Final model output to the user query generated from the input prompt of query and retrieved texts.

Advantages of Custom Q&A Applications Over a Model Fine-tuning
1. Context-specific answers
2. Adaptable to new input documents
3. No need to fine-tune the model, which saves the cost of model training
4. More accurate and specific answers rather than general answers
