It would be beneficial for FME to develop its own ChatBot and integrate it into the FME Form. Users could ask questions while developing their workspace and receive direct suggestions from the ChatBot on effective ways to build and continue developing the workspace.
Hi
As long as it won’t be as annoying as Clippy… 😅
All kidding aside, I think there’s a potential risk of a user building a workspace with this AI suggestions and ending up with effectively a big black box (i.e. “it works but we’re not sure why”). This could contrast with our best practice suggestion of documenting specifically why things are done.
For exactly this reason I would be very wary to use the AI assist to write Python code. It may do a good job, but I’m not strong enough with Python to determine that (I know enough of Regexes and SQL that I’d feel comfortable using the AI assist there)
The integrated ChatBot in FME would be a great improvement, especially for people who are new to FME and have some difficulties knowing which transformer and parameters to use to perform certain actions.
All the votes from this idea have been transferred.
