I just dabbled around with a cool tool from my hometown, Leipzig. It’s called MAIA and allows SMEs to chat with their technical document base. It focuses on heavy technical documents that contain lots of diagrams, tables, numbers, and industrial stuff.
One thing that stood out to me was a simple feature. I asked the tool to create a classification of a bunch of power tools, and it did so nicely. However, it then went on to tell me what files it didn’t use.
That sounds like a small thing, but in reality, it’s essential for me to trust the process. It’s explainability and transparency. I realize I would prefer a transparent solution over an accurate one every day because I have to trust the AI system to incorporate it into my workflow.
