AI like ChatGPT can be trained or fine-tuned on your specific content, or more commonly, it can reference and ground its responses in your content to deliver highly personalized and accurate responses.
Here’s how it works and what your options are:
✅ Use Case:
You're a doctor focusing on natural medicine, and you want an AI assistant (on your website or app) to:
-
Answer visitors' questions using your protocols and philosophy.
-
Generate customized treatment suggestions within your scope.
-
Stay aligned with your practice, tone, and compliance needs.
🧠 Two Main Ways to Train AI on Your Content:
1. Embedding + Retrieval (RAG - Retrieval-Augmented Generation):
This is the most popular and flexible option right now.
-
Your content (e.g., website text, PDFs, blogs, protocols) is indexed and embedded into a searchable vector database.
-
When a visitor asks something, the AI retrieves the most relevant pieces from your content and uses those to craft a response.
-
Example: Someone asks, “What’s your natural protocol for managing IBS?” The AI pulls your written guidelines and responds in your style.
🛠 Tools to use:
-
ChatGPT + custom GPTs with knowledge files (can upload PDFs, text files)
-
Custom bots built with frameworks like LangChain, Flowise, RAG stack (more advanced)
-
Chatbase, Humata, Heyday, Genei, CustomGPT.ai, etc.
✅ Pros: Fast to set up, no need to “retrain” a model
❌ Cons: Needs good structure and clean content for best results
2. Fine-tuning (less common for your case):
This involves actually retraining a smaller AI model on your text data so it "thinks" in your style.
-
Good for specialized domains where language and structure are unique.
-
More expensive and complex.
-
Less flexible: If you change your protocols, you'd need to retrain the model again.
✅ Pros: Results can feel very natural
❌ Cons: Overkill for many use cases, expensive, and less adaptive
🧩 Integration Options:
-
Add the AI assistant as a chat widget on your Joomla 5 or Shopify site.
-
Let patients upload a symptom questionnaire, and the bot responds with a customized protocol draft (with disclaimers).
-
AI can suggest blog articles, treatment summaries, or supplement suggestions from your approved list.
⚖️ Legal + Ethical Note:
-
Always include disclaimers (“not a substitute for medical advice”).
-
Responses should reinforce that the final diagnosis or protocol comes from you or a qualified practitioner.
-
HIPAA compliance matters if dealing with actual patient data.
