This has alot of killer features for me as a low level developer. I gave it all the intel programming documentation for x64, and it's able to correctly reference and solve problems GPT-4 cannot or hesitated to.

I imagine anyone else with a case like this where the docs are extremely verbose and hard to read will benefit.

I wonder if it would be good at building libraries and emulators based on datasheets.

When I've played around with microcontrollers, dealing with external components requires deep studying of the datasheet, even for the simplest of components like a temperature sensor - if there's a library I would always use that, but of course there isn't for everything. Maybe GPT can help here...

Did you do anything else special in getting it to correctly reference the documentation?

Now that you brought this up, I could really use this ability with some 600 pages of documentation I have.

This is the prompt I use. I've been refining it a little to make sure it quotes the manual. But it's a good chunk of the time.
