"Ask a table a question" token usage and feature request

Hi,

I want to quickly clarify how tokens are being used when using the “Ask a table a question” feature.

I am guessing here, but is that way that it works that you load the entire table in your prompt and then ask GPT-4 to identify what record likely contains the answer, and then responds with the corresponding values in the answer field.

If this is the case, won’t use a lot of tokens the larger your dataset is, because it will have to read the entire dataset in its entirety each time?

Following on from this: I love the use case of using Glide to create a Q&A databank etc. Given the progress made on AI features, are there any consideration to allow for embeddings and to potentially allow for adding a vector database such as Pinecone as a source. This would solve the token issue and allow for some interesting use cases when it comes to building your own LLMs.

We’re going to build the vector features directly into Glide.

Thanks for the post, I really would love the ability to have vector features within Glide. In one of my apps, I’m feeding all historical data to do some sort of a chatbot. I definitely would love to have more control over that.

That’s awesome news

Hey David,

Great to hear! Any update concerning a timeline for the implementation of vector features?

Thanks
