“As an example, the question “When did we replace our pool pump?” will be mapped to a category called “pool” before querying the Index database.”

Cool write up! Really appreciate it but incidentally how does this categorization help you get better retrieval results?

Categorization allows for retrieval strategy
In a general sense, you see this crop up in SKILLS.md files and other places, as LLMs have to deal with broad contexts. People try and drill into some taxonomy in a naive fashion using plaintext as a directive, which is not particularly optimal.

I wonder if one could build a 'mixture of experts' at the model level that leveraged a variety of small models "within" a larger model...

because you have a different vector store for each categorization?

What if the question crosses categories?
