# Common Architectures

Some of the most common applications that can be built on Stack AI rely on different components of our product. Below are some of the elements to look into for solving each task:

| LLM Task                                      | Recommended LLM(s)                      | Useful Components & Architecture                                                              |
| --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Ask questions to several documents.           | `GPT-3.5-turbo or Claude-v1`            | Offline Data Loaders: `Websites`, `Data + Search` `URLs + Search`                             |
| Browse the internet to perform research       | `Claude-v1-instant` and `GPT-3.5-turbo` | Data Loaders & Vector Databases: Input, LLM, Google Search, VectorDB, LLM, Output             |
| Aggregate data from a database or table       | `GPT-3.5-turbo-16k` or `GPT-4-32k`      | Data Loaders & Document Readers: Input, Data Loader (Airtable, CSV, etc...), Doc Q\&A, Output |
| Perform operations on a table or database     | `GPT-4`                                 | Plugins: Input, Table Analyzer, LLM, Output                                                   |
| Transcribe a document into a different format | `GPT-3.5-turbo-16k`                     | Document Readers: Input, Data Loader, Transcriber, Output                                     |

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stackai.com/hidden-pages/common-architectures.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
