Instant Learning

Instant learning is currently supported only on Slack

We're working on adding support for Instant Learning to our our deployment options. If you're interested in learning more, please reach out.

As powerful as LLMs can be, they can also get things wrong — sometimes just by random chance, and sometimes because they've been given incomplete information.

Instant learning ensures that RunLLM never makes the same mistake twice. Instant learning refers to RunLLM's ability to learn supplemental information that you provide within a few seconds.

When to trigger Instant Learning​

Whenever you see a situation where RunLLM doesn’t provide an answer — like in the example above — or answer that’s missing detail and nuance, you can teach RunLLM with instant learning. The information that you provide will be combined with what RunLLM’s already learned from the rest of the data sources you’ve provided in order to increase the quality of future answers.

It’s worth noting that this information will be prioritized more highly in future answers than the other data sources you’ve given us. Since we weren’t able to find an answer in the data sources you’ve given us, we’ll use this data to answer future questions.

How to trigger Instant Learning​

Triggering instant learning is easy. When you see an answer that you’d like to improve, you simply need to:

  1. Tag @RunLLM, type out the correct answer and send it as a follow-up in the Slack thread with the original question, and wait a few seconds.
  2. After a few seconds, try again!

When typing out the correct answer, we recommend providing a detailed explanation of how the answer could have improved and even providing links to relevant source documentation. These two principles will help ensure that RunLLM learns as comprehensively as possible for future answers.

Instant learning can only be triggered by your team

To prevent malicious from teaching RunLLM inaccurate information, RunLLM will only activate Insatnt Learning if the Slack message is sent by someone with an @company.com email address. When Instant Learning happens, you will see an ephemeral message on Slack acknowledging the update.
