Developing Your Second Brain: How Quivr is Changing Data Storage

Who wouldn't desire a second brain? Envision a transformative tool that serves as the custodian of your thoughts and files, liberating your mind for unbridled creativity. Today, we embark on a captivating exploration with Stan Girard, the visionary mind behind Quivr and the head of Gen AI at Theodo.

Quivr, a groundbreaking generative AI application, is engineered to be your unrivaled memory repository, where no idea or data is ever misplaced. But that's just the beginning. Stan's vision for Quivr extends far beyond a mere storage solution; it's an interactive, ChatGPT-powered file system that will revolutionize the way you interact with your stored knowledge.

Going beyond Quivr, Stan shares profound insights into the future of data storage and the limitless potential of generative AI applications. He discusses how autonomous agents are poised to reshape the landscape of publishing and marketing. Stan's infectious enthusiasm for AI, coupled with his visionary outlook, will leave you with much food for thought.

Key Quotes:

“I think that keeping it open source is very important when you are storing information when you're the second brain of people. Keeping your product open source allows people to look into it or at least know that they can look into it. And that gives confidence to people, especially when you store the information. They want to know how they want to know what to do with it. They want to know if you use it. Open AI when they closed source GPT-4, created a distrust in the generative AI world where people don't know what to do with the information. So the goal is to keep it open source as much as I want and I can.”
“I really want it to be your second brain and allow you to forget things. So it's not only data, it's also things to do. So you can be more creative when you are using your first brain.”
“There needs to be an ethical part of it where maybe keep the recommendation system open source so people can look into it, see if we are not pushing more kinds of information, a specific way or a specific view and this is going to be interesting too in the future.”
“If you want to create a product, use either long chain or LAMA Index for the obstruction of complexity with the interaction to vector stores. For creating agents or for chatting with open AI and topics. So they create an abstraction layer and for example, if I recall correctly, in LAMA index, you can even use long chain LLMs models.”
