MeshAI Chatbot
Get instant answers about Mesh SDK using contextual AI retrieval
MeshAI is an AI-powered chatbot that answers your Mesh SDK questions instantly. It uses contextual retrieval to search through documentation, code examples, and starter templates to provide accurate, up-to-date responses.
Overview
MeshAI combines vector embeddings with large language models to deliver accurate answers without hallucination. When you ask a question, the system:
- Converts your query into a vector embedding
- Searches Mesh documentation for semantically similar content
- Retrieves the most relevant context
- Generates a response grounded in actual Mesh documentation
Use Cases
- Quick API lookups - Find method signatures, parameters, and return types
- Code generation - Get working code snippets for common tasks
- Concept explanations - Understand Cardano and Mesh concepts in plain language
- Troubleshooting - Describe errors and receive solutions
Quick Start
- Navigate to the Mesh documentation site
- Click the chat icon in the bottom-right corner
- Type your question and press Enter
No API keys or setup required.
Example Response
In this example, MeshAI creates a transaction that transfers ADA back to the sender's own address. The chatbot generates complete, working code with proper imports.
Tips for Better Results
| Do | Don't |
|---|---|
| Ask specific questions: "How do I mint an NFT with a Plutus policy?" | Ask vague questions: "How do I use Mesh?" |
| Include context: "I'm building a DEX and need to..." | Assume the AI knows your project |
| Ask for code examples: "Show me how to..." | Ask only for explanations without examples |
How Contextual Retrieval Works
Traditional RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) retrieves chunks of documentation based on keyword matching. MeshAI uses contextual retrieval, which:
- Embeds chunks with surrounding context for better semantic understanding
- Ranks results by relevance to your specific question
- Filters out tangentially related content
- Synthesizes responses from multiple relevant sources
This approach reduces hallucination and ensures answers are grounded in actual Mesh documentation.
Limitations
- Scope - MeshAI only answers questions about Mesh SDK. For general Cardano questions, consult the Cardano Developer Portal.
- Real-time data - The chatbot does not access live blockchain data. For queries about specific transactions or addresses, use a blockchain explorer.
- Code execution - MeshAI generates code but does not execute it. Always test generated code in your development environment.
