These bug report and usability issues some of the friends reported on the discord channel.I am sharing the details..by the way i have corrected the grammar with gpt..sorry... Poor Search Accuracy in Large Files: The tool struggles to pinpoint specific terms like "boats" in lengthy documents (about 120,000 words), missing clear instances or claiming they’re absent, rendering it unreliable for in-depth research tasks. Interactive Audio Stalls: Interactive mode kicks off briefly but soon locks up with constant spinning, then flags a "connection trouble" error; attempts to retry just repeat the cycle, halting usability. Podcast Content Errors: Audio output drops chunks of text, tosses in odd lines like "welcome back to part 2," and veers into unrelated topics, making it hard to follow and inconsistent. PDF Upload Glitches: Uploading PDFs, whether tiny or hefty, often hits snags with error messages, forcing users to restart browsers to get them through, no matter the system’s power. Missing Analytics Display: Despite multiple users engaging with it, the Analysis section stays blank with a "No Analytics yet!" notice, offering no usage tracking. Source Selection Mix-Up: Picking one source still drags in details from others not chosen, jumbling answers in notebooks with multiple files. Google Docs Detection Issues: It mostly fails to spot Google Docs, and even when it does, it skips over formatted headers, hampering document integration. YouTube Caption Rejection: Videos with visible captions get rejected as having "no transcription," blocking their use despite the text being there.
