voracitude@lemmy.world 4 days agoIt’s a very nice concept to be able to dump a shitload of knowledge into a folder, look at “processing…” for a few seconds, then ask questions to get exactly what you’re looking for out of it rather than having to go digging through the mound of information and without having to worry that the computer just threw in a few made up facts for giggles. The idea is that the dumping happens over time mostly, allowing you to quickly find buried information from years ago with a few relevant queries.
One thing I’d do with this is dump all my emails into it, from across all my accounts. That might save me having to search keywords in 8+ accounts over 4-5 different platforms every so often…
It also might have been useful in a lawsuit I prosecuted a few years ago. Instead of going through two years of encrypted messages by hand to pull out relevant excerpts with context, I could have exported the lot and just asked for the information. If it worked it could have saved me months (I spent a few hours after work every night screenshotting, dating the screenshots in chronological order, then I’ve that was done I kept a spreadsheet that I filled with relevant excerpts and links to the screenshots, by reading every single screenshot… it was a lot).

I would be super interested to hear if it could do that. I genuinely don’t know, because I haven’t tried it.
If you can export your emails in the correct format, it might actually work. Try a small batch and report back.
PS: you DON’T HAVE TO run >>summ if you don’t want to. You can ask questions against the raw files too.
Wishing you luck!
