Reference documents and web search

Give the Architect your datasheets and specs, and let it search the web for the rest.

Reference documents#

  1. 1
    Add documents
    In the Architect panel, open Docs (in the side panel's header; Reference documents on the home page chat) to add datasheets, specifications, and notes (PDF with selectable text, .md, or .txt).
  2. 2
    Where they go
    They are saved under docs/; a PDF's text is saved beside it so you can see what the AI reads.
  3. 3
    How the Architect uses them
    It uses the passages that match each question, cites the document and page, and trusts them over the web.

From the terminal or VS Code:

$ tapeo docs add bme280.pdf

or Tapeo: Add Reference Document in VS Code.

Web search#

  • When a question needs a datasheet or a standard, the Architect searches the web and lists the pages it used under its answer.
  • When you name a part or a standard (a sensor, a display, I²C), the Architect may search the web for its datasheet and lists the pages it used; it treats what it found as assumptions for you to confirm.
