Help us test two BIDS chatbot prototypes

[bids.maintenance]

Dear BIDS community, 

Over the past few months, two AI-powered chatbot prototypes have been developed to help users navigate the BIDS specification and website. These chatbots can answer questions about conversion, validation, ongoing BEPs, where to find things in the docs etc. The goal is to lower the barrier for newcomers who currently have to dig through the spec or ask for things that could often be answered instantly.

We'd like a broad, real-world testing before deciding whether/how to integrate either one into bids.neuroimaging.io and the specification site.

Could you take 10-15 minutes to:

1. Try both chatbots with questions you'd actually ask plus some questions we selected for you to get a more standardized comparison

2. Log your impressions in this shared spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Kt2iRYvGL-CNGNE99rlFUt0aHhG7c99IqLkzAa7yyR4/edit?usp=sharing 

Instructions are given in the first tab of the spreadsheet and there you can also find the two links to the two chatbots. 

The more varied the testers the more useful the results. Feedback is open until August 10th.

Thanks so much,

Julia on behalf of the BIDS maintainers

This is a fantastic idea...I've spent about 30 minutes and asked a few of my questions and a few of yours of chatbot A.  

I was very impressed, but I really can't spend a lot more time ; (. sorry...

But I would love to see this for my students!

I just tested the chatbots (participant 3). Quite impressive indeed. Happy to provide more detailed feedback or do more testing if need.
