We would certainly want to test anything out before deploying. I’ve started a conversation with Craig Ross, the LF web guy. He said
Hi Phil, There are chatbots in place but most are related to membership support, etc. at this time. There is a lot of exploration going on, but at the moment there isn't a drag/drop solution. Is everything that you would want to be searched on the root domain or is it spread out? I replied: We would likely want to have the bot access content in the SPDX GitHub repo as well as the SPDX site. Have not heard back.

I'm just wondering if IEEE has seen any bad questions with their support information. I will go ask. Does LF/SDPX have a sandbox type area, where this type of tool could be posted instead of the main page.

As you probably know, there is no way to restrict what questions the chatbot can answer. Therefore, I would like to avoid providing an automated way of getting replies to prompts like "Tell me all the ways ___ is better than SPDX". -- zvr -- ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Phil Odence via lists.spdx.org <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 6, 2026 14:46 To: [email protected] <[email protected]>; [email protected] <[email protected]>; [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Suggestion - AI Chatbot on SPDX website I have pinged the LF website guy to see if they have any chatbot plans we can piggyback on.

IEEE did that for support type questions, but they are currently revising to more of an agent type implementation. Which we might want to consider as well. I figure though the question is more about auto generating SPDX JSON, but maybe I'm wrong. Myself, I have trained a LLM to generate SPDX JSON AI BOMs for ISO42001 certification evidence purposes/audits and presentation material. I've been waiting for another tool to valid how accurate the JSON results are though with the LLM that I have.

Since the complexity of SBOM is one of the adoption inhibitors, it was suggested we could use AI chatbots that have been trained on the SPDX spec and examples. I’ve played around with NotebookLM<https://notebooklm.google/> – pointing it to the SPDX 3 spec and even asked it to generate a rather entertaining podcast. I have no idea how to do this, BTW – but if it is doable it could be rather useful.
