The Anatomy of a Capsule: Why Q/A Pairs Are Not Enough

Legacy AI training relied on brittle Question/Answer pairs. AIOX "Capsules" offer a richer, multi-modal alternative that preserves context, narrative, and media.
For years, AI training relied on scraping FAQs to build Question-Answer (Q/A) pairs. This approach is brittle, context-poor, and fails to capture the richness of human knowledge.
AIOX introduces the **Capsule**: a structured container that groups "Ingredients" into a coherent whole.
### What is a Capsule?
A capsule is a self-contained package of content and metadata:
1. **The Content:** A collection of ingredients (text, images, video, data).
2. **The Rules:** Licensing directives, training permissions, and citation requirements.
3. **The History:** Version numbers and timestamps.
4. **The Proof:** Cryptographic hashes ensuring integrity.
### Why Capsules Matter
Capsules turn raw digital assets into **AI-ready content packages**. Instead of scraping HTML and guessing the structure, the crawler ingests a ready-made capsule of meaning.
