The premise
Default chunk sizes hurt RAG quality; AI proposes a tuning experiment per document type.
What AI does well here
- Draft a chunk-size sweep per document type
- Suggest overlap and boundary rules
- Format a retrieval quality scorecard
What AI cannot do
- Replace human judgment on retrieval quality
- Tune chunks for documents you don't sample
