Gold Retriever

Gold Retriever is a tool that is open-source and allows ChatGPT, a language model, to store, retrieve, and reason with data that is specific to the user. By using Gold Retriever, users can create a custom plugin that enables ChatGPT to seamlessly integrate with and reason over new or up-to-date data. This helps overcome the limitations of ChatGPT, such as its knowledge cut-off point or difficulty with real-time data. Gold Retriever acts as a bridge between ChatGPT and the vast and ever-changing world of data, making AI interactions more meaningful, accurate, and personalized. To use Gold Retriever, users need to gather relevant text files in one directory and install it using pip. Then, they can deploy a plugin that provides the OpenAI key, index the data, and integrate the plugin into ChatGPT. A case study demonstrates how students can utilize Gold Retriever to assist with their coursework, creating flashcards from course materials and utilizing ChatGPT's assistance for this task. However, Gold Retriever has numerous other applications as long as there is textual data that users want ChatGPT to remember and use. Overall, Gold Retriever allows ChatGPT to interact with data that is specific to the user, making the model more personalized and accurate in its outputs.
