Quivr Gives Ponti Capital a Boost: A Journey towards Supercharging Support and Streamlining Dev Work

Ponti Capital, under the leadership of Alan Wells, recently acquired Roundabout, a mobile application designed to assist golfers in tracking and improving their game performance. Despite Alan's extensive background in web, mobile, and machine learning technologies, he faced a significant challenge due to his unfamiliarity with Swift and Node.js, the primary technologies used in the app's codebase. The acquisition came with minimal documentation and no engineering handoff from the previous owner, leaving Alan in need of a robust solution to streamline his workflow and support the app's ongoing development.

What Were the Main Challenges?

Lack of Documentation and Context‍

Alan needed to quickly familiarize himself with the inherited codebase to effectively develop new features and address bugs. The absence of sufficient documentation and prior context posed a significant barrier to achieving this.

Efficient Customer Support

The application’s user base frequently encountered issues that required deep understanding of the code. Alan struggled to provide prompt and accurate support without extensive knowledge of the system's intricacies.

What Was the Target?

• Enhance Development Workflow: Improve the ability to query and understand the codebase and related documentation efficiently.
• Scale Customer Support: Utilize AI to draft accurate and helpful responses to customer inquiries, aiming for eventual full automation.
• Content Summarization: Efficiently summarize and repurpose content from various sources for marketing and support purposes.

Which Criteria to Rely On to Select the Technical Partner?

Alan sought a solution capable of handling and integrating multimodal content—including text, images, and source code—into a unified, searchable, and summarizable format. The RAG solution needed to support the seamless integration of existing data sources and streamline the workflow for both development and customer support.

In Search of Solutions and Identification of their Limitations

• Google AI Search: Provided relevant results but lacked summarization capabilities.
• Google Gemini Model: Generated high-quality support responses from the code repository but couldn’t incorporate other content types.
• ChatGPT: Lacked an associated knowledge repository.
• Glean: Did not support querying the source code repository.
• Custom RAG Solution: Time-intensive to build and maintain.
• Other Tools: Limited to specific data sources
