LLMs vs search engines

Happy Monday and welcome to the 1,155 new folks joining since last week.

This is Ben's Bites, the daily AI newsletter that kicks off the week faster than a strong cup of coffee. And it is Monday, so coffee is necessary...

Let's get to it.

I built a way to upload data and you can ask it questions with AI. So you could theoretically upload any data (my example is animal facts) to a google sheet, then use this automation to enter a question e.g. "What is the tallest mammal?" and AI using embeddings will search through the data and return the response. All built without any code. (link)

Microsoft looks to add OpenAI’s chatbot technology to Word and email. (link)

What would an AI + search engine look like? Well, wonder no more. Neeva have released NeevaAI.

It combines the power of AI with a search stack to give you fast, accurate, and up-to-date results. And, it provides sources where the information was pulled from. (Not made up sources btw).
