Hey folks, is there any way y'all can add some additional styling to the "Ask AI" button in the documentation so it is below the "Read the Docs" button that lets users switch between documentation versions? Right now the Ask AI button is covering that.

Oh! Looks like read the docs changed up their styling It used to appear on the left side… You’re right that it now overlaps

Checking with the folks from RunLLM who helped us with the little AI button
Appreciate the feedback! 🙏

No worries, I know these sorts of widgets can be tricky since you may not have control over what comes through an element you have to set up.
j
Yeah our vendors just kind of… splat them in there
Though the Ask AI thing has been surprisingly accurate with some questions. I’ve been relatively impressed
(It still does hallucinate a little though)

😮
But yeah, hallucinations (we don’t yet support window functions, it pulled this from a proposal in one of our Issues):

Call me a Luddite, but I'd rather read some documentation so it sticks in my mind a bit longer. As much as I love the idea of the "machine spirit" in 40k lore--not so much in real life.

How’s our documentation so far?
Any feedback/tips for us to get better?

I've enjoyed it thus far--currently doing some research for replacing our SAS 9.4 cluster and I'll keep Daft in my back pocket if I need to yank something for distributed compute. I first heard of y'all through the Ibis project as potentially becoming a supported backend. Currently doing an Arrow-ification of our workflows.

Awesome. Yeah feel free to drop any feedback you have in our channel. Our goal is to become a really nice local experience (running just as nicely as something like DuckDB), but then scale seamlessly into distributed if you need us to
Yeah Ibis is an interesting one… On one hand because we’re inherently already both a local/distributed engine there is not much benefit of us integrating with Ibis. On the other hand it could (maybe?) be a good distribution channel for Daft. Maintaining that integration seems painful though
Also tbh it feels like Ibis is mostly picking up speed because it added DuckDB as an engine and is now pretty much just a Python interface to DuckDB 😂

I can see that, especially with being an abstraction on top of Polars. I wouldn't mind having something I could give to users as a helpful abstraction.
