Hi everyone,

Over the years, this forum has accumulated a massive amount of incredible knowledge, troubleshooting steps, and advice regarding BD Rebuilder. However, searching through thousands of pages to find an answer to a specific problem can be tedious.

To help the community, I’ve created a custom AI Chatbot using Google's NotebookLM. I have fed its memory with almost the entirety of the Doom9 BD Rebuilder forum section.

What is it?
It's an AI assistant that can answer almost any question about BD Rebuilder, based exclusively on what has been discussed, solved, and explained right here on this forum. If someone has asked it and someone has answered it in the past, the AI knows it.

Why use it?


Instant answers: Get immediate help for both basic and complex settings.

Accurate sourcing: It doesn't invent answers from the wider web; it bases its answers on our forum's history.

Free to use: You just need a Google account to log in and chat with it. (You will only be a "Viewer", meaning you can query the database, but my original source files remain locked).


How to get the best results:
Because forum discussions can sometimes include wrong guesses before the actual solution is found, I highly recommend pasting this specific instruction into the chat box along with your question:

"You are an expert on BD Rebuilder. Your knowledge base comes from a forum. Warning: many users post incorrect assumptions. You must strictly prioritize posts made by the developer (jdobbs) and solutions that are explicitly confirmed to work by others. Ignore unverified guesswork. My question is: [YOUR QUESTION HERE]"

Feel free to test it out with some obscure errors or advanced settings questions, and let me know how it performs for you!

Cool...

I tested it with a couple questions and the responses I got were very good.

Thank you so much for the time and effort.
I have been away from here for a long while and my grey matter has forgotten a lot of this little bits & pieces that I had picked up over the years before that break.
So this is exactly what an oldie needs.
THANK YOU!!!!!

Thank you so much, jdobbs! If it handles your questions well, it means the data did its job.

That was exactly my goal: to simplify forum searches, help solve previously encountered problems, and serve as a sort of interactive "documentation" for both new and returning users.

Thank you for all your work over the years. This assistant is really just standing on the shoulders of your contribution!
