This one seems to be super straightforward about timeliness and capabilities, but the examples might be a bit simpler than people think. This is pretty amazing but like someone else said you could achieve similar results from rag due to the lack of novelty in these questions and the fact that each dealt with pretty independent examples as opposed to using custom code developed elsewhere in the codebase.
