The custom UI has Chat, Corrections, Compare, and Export tabs: wrong answers get logged with the question, failed response, verified correction, and a rule set. Examples include Qwen mangling a filename-formatting task and botching simple arithmetic on CSV data. The Export tab turns corrections into prompt-answer pairs that could train a LoRA adapter, gradually personalizing the model to the author's own tasks using data unavailable elsewhere. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
