There are valid concerns when it comes to how we use agents today and how we should prepare to use them in future. 1️⃣ AI agents as ‘research assistants’, 2️⃣ Agentic workflows, some involving human-in-the-loop systems. 3️⃣ Safety nets, such as ‘undo’.

Agents can seem a bit like wizardry, so I've been working on an intro 💚 🧙 The way I like to explain it is by comparing most LLMs in agentic AI applications today to a wizard with a spell book (tools). It's been granted instructions for bunch of spells 🪄 Read on here: weaviate.io/blog/ai-agents

🙌 However, as open-source models have advanced, many of you have asked for more flexibility and control. You loved our integrations, but you also wanted to leverage open-source models more closely with the database.

Bob van Luijt @bobvanluijt.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

💡 For a long time, Weaviate has offered seamless integrations with embedding providers, allowing users to send their data directly to the database and let Weaviate handle vectorization. This streamlined workflow has powered countless production use cases.

Why would you want to use Agentic RAG instead of 'normal' RAG? Agentic RAG is, in contrast to normal RAG, using agents to make a decision on what to do, instead of following a pre-defined pipeline. Find out more: weaviate.io/blog/what-is...

Vanilla RAG is a straightforward pipeline: retrieve, augment, and then generate. But, agentic RAG? It's the strategist — planning steps, reasoning, and fetching exactly what's needed, even from the web or multiple tools!
