How AI Works
A simple explanation of how AI processes information and responds to your requests
Understanding the basics of how AI works helps you use it more effectively. This guide explains AI’s functioning using simple analogies and practical examples.
The Basic Process
Think of like a highly trained assistant who has read millions of books and documents. Here’s how it helps you:
When you ask a question or make a request, the AI reads your message to understand what you’re asking for, any specific requirements, and the of your request. This helps the AI grasp the type of help you need.
Next the AI searches its and reviews relevant documents that were added in your (if you have one available for it to use). It identifies key information and connects related ideas to gather the most important details for your or request.
Finally, the AI organizes all this information, writes an answer, and formats it as requested. It checks for completeness to ensure you receive a comprehensive and well-structured response that answers your question or request.
