AM.CO.ZA · Builder guide

Build your AI on AM.CO.ZA data

Use the public Knowledge Base to ground, fine-tune, or train your assistant — not a foundation model we sell. The data is the product.

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

Then expand with product/machine pages under sources/ as needed. For ChatGPT browsing, .txt beats .md (extension sniffing).
