The 5-Stage AI Pipeline

1

Intent Classification

AI analyzes your question and classifies it into specific categories: gear recommendation, technical question, troubleshooting, workflow advice, manual lookup, music theory, or production technique.

Example Input:

"How do I get a thick bass sound on my Moog Minitaur?"

Classification Result:

Technical Question Manual-Specific Sound Design

2

Hybrid Manual Retrieval

Using 768-dimensional vector embeddings, the AI searches our manually-curated manual library with both semantic similarity and keyword matching. Every manual is hand-verified and properly chunked for accuracy.

Vector Search Results:

Moog Minitaur Manual - Section 3.2 (Filter Section) 94% match

Moog Minitaur Manual - Section 2.1 (Oscillators) 89% match

Moog Sound Design Guide - Bass Patches 87% match

3

Google Search Grounding

For gear recommendations and current market information, the AI enhances its knowledge with real-time Google Search results. This combines manual data with current reviews, prices, and availability.

When Google Search Is Used:

• Gear recommendation requests
• Price and availability inquiries
• Comparison questions (e.g., "Which is better?")
• Recent product releases or updates

4

Response Generation

Gemini 2.5 Flash generates a detailed, context-aware response with proper HTML formatting, technical accuracy, and practical examples—all tailored to your experience level and production profile.

Response Includes:

Step-by-step instructions

Technical specifications

Practical examples

Manual references

5

Validation & Self-Correction

AI validates its own JSON structure, checks response quality, and automatically fixes formatting errors. If validation fails, the AI critiques itself and regenerates a corrected response.

Validation Checks:

• JSON structure integrity
• HTML formatting correctness
• Response completeness
• Manual reference accuracy
• Self-critique for quality assurance
