The rise of agentic AI has fueled excitement around agents that autonomously perform tasks, make recommendations, and execute complex workflows. This blog post details the design and architecture of PodPrep AI, an AI-powered research assistant that helps the author prepare for podcast interviews.
Confluent Cloud 2024 Q4 adds private networking and mTLS authentication, follower fetching, Flink updates, WarpStream features to support migration and governance, and more!
GenAI thrives on real-time contextual data: In a modern system, LLMs should be designed to engage, synthesize, and contribute, rather than to simply serve as queryable data stores.
Continuing issues with hallucinations, the increasing independence of agentic AI systems, and the greater usage of dynamic data sources, are three AI trends you may want to monitor in 2025.
In this final part of the blog series, we bring it all together by exploring data streaming platforms (DSPs), event-driven architecture (EDA), and real-time data processing to scale AI-powered solutions across your organization.
In Part 2 of the series, we take things a step further by enhancing GenAI with the tools it needs to deliver smarter, more relevant responses. We introduce retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and vector databases (VectorDBs), key technologies that provide LLMs with the context they need.
This blog series explores how technologies like generative AI, RAG, VectorDBs, and DSPs can work together to provide the freshest and most actionable data. Part 1 lays the foundation for understanding how data fuels AI, and why having the right data at the right time is essential for success.
