Documents Copilot. How does it work?


Forum|alt.badge.img+7

Hello,

maybe someone can provide more information how does Documents Copilot works? I read the document “ML-IFS.ai Copilot 24R2- Best practice guide - Internal version-160125-091502” and understood, that information of the document files of the documents uploaded into Data Lake are included into Copilot search of information. Firstly copilot searches information in IFS documentation, then in the files of the documents uploaded in Data Lake and then in user transactions.

Information that I want to search really is in document file (PDF) that uploaded in Data Lake, but the query doesn’t find it. Document file “ML-IFS.ai Copilot 24R2- Best practice guide - Internal version-160125-091502” and my query was: What language supports copilot?

This information in the document:

Copilot answer:

Why it doesn’t work? Or maybe I understand the copilot functionality not right?

Steps are executed in Application service update: 24.2.3

 

Thanks beforehand:)

Hi,

I just downloaded a copy of the same document and uploaded it to one of our test environments. After giving it 10 minutes to do the indexing, I tried a similar question from the Prepare FMECA page:

How long time did you wait after you uploaded the document to the data lake before you tried searching for it? Also, are you sure you uploaded it to the data lake explicitly? 🤔 

Some screenshots of what you did should not hurt, to spot any things you might have missed.

Also, from where exactly did you test?

Thank you, Mathias,

you are right:). I was executing search right away when uploaded the document to Data Lake:).

Now tried by myself and everything works properly:)

Thank you!!!

@Lina Menciene 

Thanks for trying that out and updating us, now others will be helped by this too! 💪🏻 

I checked our documentation on this and we actually don't mention the “wait time”. I think we should. Things like these (how long something takes) tend to change over time, so it's something we try to avoid, but it will also avoid any confusion if we add it.
