We've current had 64 questions, though many of these are from folks testing
it out.  I've personally found it useful for some of my dev work.

It's hard to tell yet if it's useful for users but we'll have more data
once it's live on the latest docs rather than the dev docs, so my plan is
to keeping checking in on the questions and answers between the upcoming
release and the next one so we can decide whether it's a useful tool for us
to have.

If anyone would like a login for kapa.ai so you can see the conversations
and answers (and add in any feedback you'd like to add yourself for
questions), then please email me and I'll add you as a user.
