Conversing with an AI about the world of Kethira has been a popular feature, but it showed notable limitations. While it excelled at answering questions about specific places or people, and generating adventures around them, it struggled with broader queries because the internal context search relied exclusively on proper nouns.
With a complete rewrite of the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, the chatbot can now locate information using adjectives and ordinary nouns (e.g., ‘underground waterfall’ or ‘penalty for theft’). We also overhauled how internal results are ranked, ensuring the AI receives a higher-quality “context” before formulating its answers. Along with refined system instructions, the overall accuracy is notably improved.
In addition to this, under-the-hood optimizations have significantly reduced latency, particularly for factual requests. Plus, responses are also now streamed, greatly reducing the wait time before text begins appearing on your screen.
As before, the improved chatbot is still fully free to use with no limitations on its knowledge of the world.
