What is AI, and Why Do We Use It?

Introduction to AI: How It Helps You Solve Problems

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad term for technology that allows computers to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as understanding language, recognizing patterns, and making decisions. One more recent form of AI is called a Large Language Model, or LLM.

What Are LLMs?

LLMs are specialized AI tools trained to understand and generate human-like text. They can read and comprehend vast amounts of information, allowing them to answer questions, provide explanations, and assist in solving complex problems. The more data an LLM is trained on, the better it becomes at understanding the nuances of language and the context of a situation.

Why Context Matters

Context is crucial for AI to provide meaningful and accurate responses. For example, when you ask a question, the LLM can consider not just the words of the question, but also any additional information contained in the input. This allows it to tailor its response to be as helpful as possible. Whether you're trying to understand a confusing HOA document or need advice on dealing with a specific issue, the LLM uses context to guide you toward the best solution.

How AI Solves Nuanced Problems

Traditional software follows strict rules: if X happens, do Y. But many real-world problems, especially those involving people and communities like HOAs, are more complex. LLMs can handle this complexity because they don't just follow rigid rules—they analyze the situation, consider different factors, and offer solutions that account for the subtleties of your specific issue.

Making AI Work for You

Using AI doesn't require advanced technical know-how. With tools like ActionHOA, you simply describe your problem or upload a document, and the AI uses its understanding of language and context to help you find answers and take action. It's like having an expert advisor available anytime you need it, guiding you through even the most challenging situations.
