Can AI agents be trained using personal documents?

Welcome to the community.

This is achievable. The straightforward method involves crafting a highly detailed system prompt that outlines your writing style and provides examples of specific characteristics.

The more complex approach utilizes tools like qdrant, where you generate embeddings from your previous writings. This path has a steep learning curve and requires significant experimentation to implement a use case like this. Therefore, I suggest beginning quickly with a robust system prompt, and then dedicating time to understanding qdrant.

Is there a limit to the system prompt?

I was considering pasting an entire article into it and am unsure if that's the intended use, especially when also including instructions, persona, and other details.

I could save my writing in a PDF or Airtable, and then have an agent review/read the content. So, perhaps not as complex as qdrant, but still somewhat advanced?

Out of curiosity, if I include HTTP links in the system prompt, will that have any effect?

You can achieve something similar. Take a look at Max’s notion chat assistant; you can implement something comparable and instruct it to use that as a writing style context rather than for references.

You don't want to make the system prompt excessively long, as you incur costs based on tokens. A longer system prompt will increase the API call expenses.

If you're uncertain about how to describe your style, consider asking an LLM to assist you in writing the system prompt, providing it with relevant articles for context.
