Thanks for the feedback, and I agree that it is very much early days for this product category. To be clear, our goal is to make the software specific for an audience: you. What's exciting, though, is that models are rapidly improving at building on-demand software and this will directly benefit Phind. There are still many edge cases, but I think it will get better quickly.

I would like to see a detection of when I want a one sentence answer and when I want a full interactive explanation with flowcharts and tables and diagrams.

My most common usecase now is "give me a quick answer because I don't want to wade through the search engine results page and then wade through the blog to get my one liner. Eg: "what's the command line to untar an xz over ssh?"

Hmm this answer seems to have ignored everything I said, provided a generic answer ("you") which is exactly the problem, and doubled down on models/technology portion (and edge cases?) which is neither built by Phind nor did I question.
