Ask Channel AI

Addressed issues post-launch

June 10, 2026

  • Improved light mode UI
  • Updated landing page copy to match a more relatable use-case (turn a creator catalog into an expert you can ask, instead of “ask a channel anything”)
  • Recruited Claude Fable 5 to burn more tokens in order to scrutinize the entire chat Q&A system (technically known as RAG) and make suggestions and improvements, such as expanding user queries, deduping excepts from the same videos, etc.
    • Was aware of these techniques already, but Fable convinced me to turn them on after some A/B testing
  • Turns out loading the all channels page was making some huge unnecessary query everytime, and was randomly crashing parts of the database
  • Fuller quote snippets (this is a really cool future BTW) for quote search on a channel, and match based on relevance, not just exact wording
  • Update your email notification settings (for video summaries whenever a channel uploads) in the Account page
  • Improved SEO, hopefully (not my forte)
