Ask follow-up questions for vague prompts
Enable this setting for Archie to start asking clarifying questions on prompts it considers vague. For example, if you ask "Draft an email to my client", it may respond with "Certainly, what exactly would you like to discuss with your client so I can draft the email?”.
Confirm file selection when asking about specific files in a prompt
Enable this setting if you would like Archie to confirm the file or document you are referring to in your prompt. This will appear if you ask Archie a question about a document without specifying the document first.
Use Advanced thinking for complex prompts
Enable this setting if you would like to see Archie's thought process listed out while it is generating a complex response.
Archie will determine if a prompt/question is complex in nature, and whether it should look for more relevant information than normal, and whether it should go into a deeper analysis for a better response.
Note that this will add to Archie's response time, but the end result should be more accurate.
Disable Advanced Text Extraction on PDFs
When Archie is asked a question about a PDF, a check is done in the back end to ensure the text has been extracted successfully for that PDF before running the prompt. If not, it is run through an advanced extraction tool to ensure Archie has the best chance at a great response.
The advanced text extraction process may take a considerable amount of time so the option is available to disable this from running.
