A system ingests 28 years of content — 2,000 articles, 100 videos, 370 PDFs — transcribes and diarizes media, breaks everything into cleaned chunks, embeds them into a vector index, and retrieves and ranks pieces for GPT‑4–style summarization plus a fine‑tuned keyframe selector. The UI uses a collapsed FAQ‑like Q&A with inline suggested questions and in‑line document/video viewers with citations. PDFs cause noisy chunks so cleanup and a diversity score are required. The deployed prototype at ask.lw.com generally surfaces useful, citable answers.
