Dear Cardano Community,
Introducing our latest enhancement: AI Search. Utilizing the power of advanced artificial intelligence, this feature efficiently connects you with the discussions that interest you the most.
What Does AI Search Bring to You?
-
Semantic Search:
Instead of relying solely on exact keyword matches, our AI understands the context and meaning behind your query. This means that even if your question isn’t perfectly phrased, the search will still bring up discussions that are relevant to your topic.
-
Enhanced and Precise Results:
By using state-of-the-art language models and pre-trained embedding techniques, the AI Search generates a “synonym database” of sorts – providing you with summaries and key points from relevant posts rather than just a long list of links.
-
Faster and More Intuitive Experience:
With smarter search algorithms, you can reach the content you need in less time. The new system is designed to provide precise results for both logged-in and anonymous users, and you can easily toggle it on or off in your settings.
-
Integrated Features for Better Community Engagement:
Beyond the traditional search, our AI system supports related topics and post summaries. This not only makes it easier to navigate discussions but also helps in discovering new conversations that match your interests.
We believe that this new search functionality will significantly improve your experience on our forum by making it simpler to find and engage with the content that matters most to you. Give it a try and let us know what you think—your feedback is essential for us to continue enhancing the forum experience!

Hello everyone! Now that AI Search has been a part of our forum experience for more than six months, it’s nice to explore this issue. The community has had enough time to truly understand how it operates.
This application makes the extensive knowledge on this forum more accessible and is an excellent example of applying AI for information retrieval. Comparing this to other AI experiments in the ecosystem, such as the workshop IOG conducted during RareEvo, is intriguing. For those who missed it, here is a resume and analysis of the workshop [forum post by @ChrisCata], and you can locate the full workshop videos here.
That session highlights two different uses for AI in governance, which is why I bring it up. While the workshop tool was an experiment in forming an ongoing discourse, the forum search aids in our understanding of what has already been said. This disparity highlights a key issue that was later discussed on the forum post: how to “fine the balance between AI efficiency and human deliberation.”
Finding methods for these technologies to “complement, rather than replace, organic dialogue.” appears to be the ultimate objective. I’d want to continue the discussion with a few open-ended questions for everyone, keeping in mind the larger context:
- What do you think of the AI Search now that we’ve had it for a time, and how do you utilize it?
- What other AI tools might be useful for our governance and budget process in the future, in your opinion?
- Are there any other intriguing AI integrations being planned or investigated by the team and the larger community?
These are just open questions to hear everyone’s thoughts. These initial steps are fantastic, and I’m interested to know what the community thinks we should do next.
