End users who only need chat answers should use
AI Connect (one paste into ChatGPT / Meta AI / Gemini / …).
This page is for builders who want a Custom GPT, vector store, RAG pipeline, or local model fed by the same public export.
What this is
Public facts plane for builders
AM.CO.ZA publishes a crawlable static KB so existing AIs (and your own tools) can answer from real playbooks, stock rules, scenarios, and product pages — without inventing prices or warehouse qty.
Path A · Grounding / RAG
Don’t train weights — retrieve
- Index .txt / .md under /data/amcoza/ into a vector store
- Always start retrieval with scenarios/INDEX.txt or STOCK.txt for stock asks
- Cite source URLs; never invent stock qty or prices
- Works with Custom GPTs, Claude Projects, Gemini Gems, LlamaIndex, LangChain, etc.
Path B · Fine-tune / distill
Optional: train a small model
- Use the public export as supervised / SFT text (playbooks, how-tos, scenarios)
- Prefer scenario packs + HOW-TO over dumping the whole tree
- Keep live stock out of frozen weights — still fetch stock/latest.json at answer time
- Public only: no Internal Affairs, CRM, or staff files in this export
Suggested starter set
Minimum files to ingest
https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/AI-GATES.txt
https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/START_HERE.txt
https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/STOCK.txt
https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/HOW-TO.txt
https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/scenarios/INDEX.txt
https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/scenarios/troubleshoot.txt
https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/llms-brief.txt (if present)
https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/website-llms/ (site briefs)
Then expand with product/machine pages under sources/ as needed. For ChatGPT browsing, .txt beats .md (extension sniffing).
Sync options
How to get updates
- HTTP / CDN: re-fetch or aws s3 sync / wget the tree from /data/amcoza/
- Google Drive: keep the shared folder synced on a builder machine, then point your ingest job at the local copy
- Sitemap: data/amcoza/sitemap.xml for discovery
Rules
Hard constraints
- Always write AM.CO.ZA (not bare “AM”) in client-facing prompts
- Company line: AM.CO.ZA / Advanced Machinery (Pty) Ltd (a South African company)
- Catalog “In Stock” ≠ live warehouse qty — use stock HOW-TO + latest.json
- If unsure for a human: WhatsApp AM.CO.ZA on 060 600 6000
- AI fetch errors: email poppy@am.co.za with the exact error + URL
