PolkaGPT - All Polka-lover

[CocDap]

Project Abstract

PolkaGPT is an application tool for the LLM (Large Language Model) model designed for developers, researchers, and users to search for documents, suggest code, hint at bug solutions, and more. Additionally, the Polkadot-loving open-source community can contribute to the data repository so that PolkaGPT can be updated continuously

Thanks for the application. The formatting of your first milestone currently doesn't seem to be correct, and the second milestone is missing the default deliverables. Additionally, I have one big question: why do you think someone would use your service rather than ChatGPT or Bard? Both seem to already be capable to answer the questions that you listed above.

Hi @CocDap thanks for your time and effort in submitting the application. Due to the reasons above, and also the fact that it isn't really coupled with Polkadot tech in a novel way, the committee has decided to go ahead and close this application. We appreciate your interest in the W3F grants program, and wish you the best of luck in finding funding.

Sorry. For some personal reasons, I am responding late. Here are three key differences between PolkaGPT and ChatGPT or Bard:

1. ChatGPT and Bard are trained on general knowledge, while PolkaGPT focuses on Polkadot-related information (a specific knowledge domain). Additionally, PolkaGPT includes links to YouTube and other learned sources. In terms of in-depth knowledge, PolkaGPT is more specialized, as ChatGPT and Bard may not provide detailed answers.

2. The Contribute To Earn model is implemented for PolkaGPT, where users contribute data that is verified. Contributions from the community and developers are highly valued, encouraging participation in the Polkadot ecosystem.

3. On-chain Credit: Currently, a person's credibility is based solely on their verified social account, which does not necessarily indicate whether they contribute to Polkadot. The proposed idea is to introduce on-chain credit to provide a more accurate measure of credibility for Polkadot enthusiasts. This would involve incorporating additional on-chain factors such as the amount you're staking, nominating, and your participation in activities within Parachains, ...

One more thing, the chatbot is the initial idea, while the combination of Contribute to Earn with On-chain Credit will utilize the tech stack of Polkadot

@Noc2 @keeganquigley Thank you for reviewing my initial proposal.
