DocuMine Feature Highlights

Overview

This page is dedicated to the smaller problems and the solutions designed within DocuMine. Not each of these require a full blown case study, but they deserve showcasing nonetheless.

Problem

DocuMine has a high a high success rate for generating answers, but it’s not flawless.

During testing there were several notable behaviours that came up. We witnessed users re-run the entire DocuMine process just to answer one or two specific questions on documents that had previously returned incomplete results or they had thought of in the moment.

So how might we allow users to find answers that require impromptu questioning?

Recognising the need for an easier, more efficient way to address this problem and the gaps in the experience we looked back on our previous work to find a solution.

This came in the form of Chat AI. A previously ice-boxed project of a conversational AI with users documents. Taking our learnings from what did and didn’t work from ChatAI, we adapted a previous concept to fit with the DocuMine experience; a simple, intuitive search-like query field that could provide quick answers on demand.

Introducing Command Bar. A simple keyboard shortcut, can launch users into a one-line prompt field to ask on the spot questions. Using the already familiar Answer Cards from DocuMine, their answers can be pasted anywhere they need.

Command Bar serves as a way to fill entire worksheets, rework prompts and expand already existing answers.

Caveats & Future

There are of course major hurdles to overcome. Similar to the ChatAI days; limitations to WPF, rate-limiting and context switching all hinder Command Bar being a fully fledged product just now. We’re actively working on solving a lot of these problems and expanding capabilities.

The future of Command Bar entails bringing access to our Knowledge Base, multi-doc questioning and potentially launching into other features such as Form Extraction or Document Matching.
