🤖 AI-Powered Learning
Our unique evaluation engine blends precise pre-defined answers with the latest AI models from OpenAI to deliver flexible, accurate feedback. It employs "Dynamic RAG", a term coined by Alexander T. Karslake to describe a system that dynamically retrieves relevant information from a knowledge base to then be used for traditional RAG.
How It Works
- 🔹Checks for exact matches first for instant response
- 🔹Uses AI (if need be) to evaluate meaning and cultural appropriateness
- 🔹Scores answers on accuracy and grammar
- 🔹Considers the full conversational context before scoring
