Real business applications from databases to booking to summarization
There are many business cases beyond the autonomous agent hype. Question answering over a database is one: use a language interface to access the database, figure out the information, distill it, and report back. Chatbots interacting with booking systems need to understand how to access the system and remember personal preferences. Document summarization is another: if I take all seven Harry Potter books, I can’t paste them into OpenAI because it’s a finite machine. Instead, summarize page by page, store that in memory, then do iterative summarization to get the final result. These applications are very practical.
