Why does nobody talk about how long it takes to fix a broken 'ask anything' bot?
I tried to set up a simple automated Q&A bot for my crew's internal chat last week, thinking it would take an afternoon. The problem was getting it to understand our specific plumbing terms, like 'P-trap' or 'cleanout'. It took me three full days of tweaking the training data and testing questions before it gave decent answers. I mean, I was just feeding it old work orders and manuals. Has anyone else tried to train a bot on niche job words and had it take way longer than you thought?

Three days is actually pretty fast for domain-specific training. I've seen IT projects where basic chatbot setup took two weeks before it could handle simple ticket terms. Your manual tweaking is the standard process, not a delay.

Actually @nguyen.blake, two weeks is crazy slow for that.

Remember when I thought three days was slow?
