174. Building Confidence in Aurora (AI) in Panorama

So with all of that information, where is it getting that information and data from? Like, are you just pulling from anywhere on the Internet? Are you pulling all like locally everybody's data? How does that work?

Absolutely not.

One of the core principles of Panorama from the start has been that your data is yours and you are the owner of it.

And we made that a core aspect of how Aurora works as well.

So Aurora doesn't have access to any data that isn't yours while you're talking with it.

It doesn't access the internet.

It's really just drawing on the data that's available to you in other parts of Panorama.

but making it so that you can have an assistant there alongside you, helping you understand it, helping you navigate, figure out what the important parts are.

But ultimately, it's the same data that you would have had access to just on the screen.

Is there any benefit to not pulling information from the internet just blindly there to try and get you more information?

Yeah, I mean, the biggest part is that the Internet is full of potentially misleading information as well.

So we don't want to let Aurora lead you down a false path because someone on the Internet said some dumb thing.

We want to make sure that we have a ground truth level understanding of what it is that the data that Aurora is working with so we can feel confident that it's guiding you in the right direction.

We're saying Aurora a lot, you know, the name kind of doesn't roll off my tongue very well anyways.

Why Aurora? Where did Aurora get its name?

That is a great question.

At the beginning of the project, we didn't have a name and we weren't really quite sure what to name it.

So we were throwing out a lot of options and at some point someone was just like, well, why don't we just ask the model? So I guess you could say Aurora named

itself.
