[1] rivt and AI#

AI can be used to generate rivt content including scripts and tables. It can assist in converting PDFs into text and ASCII math used by rivt files. Since rivtlib is built on Python and rivt files are Python files, many existing AI tools are availale for interacting with and extending rivt.

For context regarding future rivt development, a summary of current relevant AI models and tools is provided here. In brief, AI outputs are based on a few large foundational models which provide in turn provide input to agents, tools and UI’s. This agent layer is then used to generate relevant responses to user queries and prompts.

Agents that generate complete rivt files for specific project requirements baed on scripts is currently being explored. If successful, rivt AI agents will be offered as a software service in the latter part of 2026. Services for

[2] AI Use Cases#

The VSCode IDE has been used to develop rivt and VSCode is integrated with Microsoft Copilot, an AI coding assistant powered by the OpenAI foundation model. Copilot recognizes rivt markdown and is able to make editing and content suggestions.

Claude is effective in converting existing documents from PDF format into ASCII text formats compatible with rivt. AI can also be used to generate tables, equations and models that can be incorporated into rivt documents.
