@NateWatkin Would appreciate an invite!

@Wattenberger Great post Amelia 🙂 The "zoom" UI pattern feels like a natural one to navigate levels of abstraction. I think beyond context this idea is also instrumental for discovery, which is really difficult with search-retrieve UIs like chat and search boxes.

I’ve been experimenting with using GPT's learnings from its training data to get this coordinate system & content zoom-ins and outs. The coordinates, and thus topics, are relative to each other and spatialized in 2D.

This feels more like going to different bookshelves in a library, and gives a way to see what's on the shelves. Tying it to coordinates allows panning over to related topics, or zoom-in to more specific topics.

When you find something you like, its easy to then ask about it.

You get to a bookstore, wanting to learn something new. Everything is nicely fit into different categories, and you have no idea what you will discover after some perusing.

[Garrett Vercoe @garrettvercoe]

You could basically keep zooming in, further and further, until its at a specificity that you want to actually dig in and learn more about a specific topic.

You could then build a contextual cross-app overlay to guess your next best action

[Garrett Vercoe @garrettvercoe]

Since the general workings of a transformer model is to guess the next best word based off prior words, I'm curious if this could work on other linear-based sequences such as app actions. i.e [Open browser] -> [Open Email] -> ??? [Suggestion: Tab to Open Unreads]
