Sage Evolving Expert System - Cultivate Your AI Expert Advisor

Core Philosophy

Sage is atypica.AI's evolving AI expert system that makes AI truly "smarter over time" through three key mechanisms: memory documents, knowledge gap tracking, and supplementary interviews.

Core Value:

  1. Memory as Expertise: Build expert capabilities based on structured knowledge documents (Memory Documents)
  2. Proactive Learning: Discover knowledge blind spots through conversations and actively supplement the knowledge base
  3. Continuous Evolution: Every conversation and interview makes the expert stronger
  4. Traceability: Complete knowledge source tracking and version history management

Analogy:

  • Traditional AI: One-off Q&A, forgets everything after the conversation ends
  • Sage: Like cultivating a real human expert who continuously learns, remembers, and evolves

Knowledge SourcePre-trained data (fixed cutoff date)User-uploaded professional materials (continuously updatable)
Memory MechanismNo persistent memory (forgets after conversation)Versioned memory documents (permanently saved)
Learning CapabilityPassive responses (no proactive learning)Actively identifies knowledge gaps and supplements them
Professional DepthGeneralized knowledge (broad but shallow)Domain expert (deep specialization)
Knowledge EvolutionStatic (waits for model updates)Dynamic (evolves with every conversation and interview)
TraceabilityCannot trace knowledge sourcesComplete knowledge source and change history
Use CasesGeneral Q&AProfessional consulting, knowledge transfer, deep learning

Real-World Case Comparison

Scenario: Consulting on company's UX design guidelines

Traditional AI (10 minutes):

Sage Expert (30 seconds):

Efficiency Gains:

  • Time: 10 minutes → 30 seconds (95% time saved)
  • Accuracy: Generic advice → Company-specific guidelines (100% accurate)

How Does Sage Work?

Part 1: Create Expert in Three Steps

Step 1: Parse Knowledge Sources

Upload Professional Materials:

  • File Upload: PDF, TXT, Markdown, Audio, DOCX (up to 10 files)
  • Text Paste: Direct text input
  • URL Import: Fetch content from web pages (using Jina Reader API)

Automatic Parsing:


Step 2: Extract Knowledge and Build Memory Document

Part 2: Proactive Learning Mechanism

Mechanism 1: Discover Knowledge Gaps During Conversations

Real Conversation Scenario:

Key Features:

  1. Asynchronous Analysis: After conversation ends, uses Gemini 2.5 Flash for low-cost analysis
  2. Automatic Identification: AI determines which questions weren't answered adequately
  3. Link to Original Conversation: Can click to view complete conversation context
  4. Continuous Optimization: Every conversation may uncover new knowledge gaps

Mechanism 2: Supplementary Interviews

Trigger Condition: When unresolved Knowledge Gaps exist

Automatic Workflow:

Step 1: Generate Interview Plan

Step 2: AI Interviewer Conducts Interview

Step 3: Automatically Update Knowledge Base


Part 3: Knowledge Evolution Tracking
