ASK Seeed AI... 😁 Seeed Studio has there own cheat code

[PJ_Glasso]

HI there…

SO This is BIG, A lot is happening all over the world behind the scenes..
Thanks to [email protected]
Hi @everyone, I wanted to share a demo I set up for the community!

It’s an Ask AI assistant built on the:

• XIAO Wikis
• OSHW-XIAO-Series
• xiao-esphome-projects
• platform-seeedboards

The idea is to make it a bit easier to navigate all the available resources and self-serve answers to more complex technical questions when building with XIAO boards.

Feel free to give it a try here: Seeed Studio docs - stock kapa widget

Would love to hear some feedback if you get a chance to try it out!

My secret has been reviled…

So instead of making there own model, they figured out a middle level
Using a Generic reasoning model (chat-GPT, Claud..)more or less, they don’t make a recipe or have to train it, only add a scrape of data from the platforms and let the search use reasoning to guide you to an answer. It’s built on kapa.ai, which uses an architecture called RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) Cheat code

Instead of retraining or fine-tuning the model’s weights, the AI uses an existing foundation model (like GPT-4 or Claude) as an intelligent reasoning engine and connects it to a live search system.
the steps actually are simple…
1. Data Ingestion & Syncing
2. Parsing & Chunking
3. Vector Embedding & Indexing
4. Retrieval at Query Time
5. Prompt Augmentation & Generation

This RAG approach prevents model hallucinations, avoids the high cost of model training, and updates instantly whenever Seeed modifies a wiki page or code commit
Amazing they got it packaged, I have it the hard way in a post on here way more time consuming the traditional model weights ,etc. way. Not anymore

Try it out , and give some feedback. They will be adding the Forum data I’m sure its a wealth of knowledge in one place and does help EVERYONE regardless, lets keep it that way.

Note: RANT -ON
Use the tools and don’t fall for the hype, It’s not the AI that could hurt mankind, it’s the Idiots in charge and there effect on planning & implementing it. Biggest danger believe it or not is to the Natural resources it consumes. THAT should be the concern. It Needs real management.
“soapbox off”

Someone has to say it…

You can pick a model too, The MCP (Model Context Protocol) option allows you to connect Seeed’s knowledge base directly into your own local AI development environment instead of using their web chat UI.

MCP is an open standard created by Anthropic that acts as a universal bridge between AI coding tools and external data sources.
for example, When enabled inside your IDE or agent, your local model gains a specialized tool (e.g., search_seeed_knowledge_sources). When you ask a question in your editor while writing firmware—like configuring pinouts or sleep modes on an ESP32-C3—the editor queries the Seeed RAG server directly in the background and injects verified, cited documentation into your active coding session.

I asked which pins are the Strapping pins on a C3 , GREAT answers. a lot from the Technical reference guide so they are thorough.

Give it a whirl, pretty cool for sure.
