FAQ

AI can be used for fraud detection, chatbots, personalized recommendations, and more. It is applicable in various industries including retail, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing.

Batch AI analyzes historical data to make predictions about the future, usually run offline and on a schedule. Real-time AI, on the other hand, makes predictions and decisions based on live data, allowing it to react quickly to events as they happen.

Generative Pretrained Transformers (GPTs) are large language models that perform tasks like natural language processing and content generation. Their key limitation is their static knowledge base; they only know what they've been trained on and can sometimes provide inaccurate information.

RAG leverages vectors to pull in real-time, context-relevant data, augmenting the capabilities of GPT models. It reduces hallucinations, provides up-to-date information, and allows access to private, proprietary data, making applications smarter and more context-aware.

No, AI is far from a fad. It's a revolutionary change that is helping businesses solve real problems and making individuals more productive.

AI matters now more than ever because it helps create highly engaging applications, provides personalized experiences, and drives competitive advantage by making intelligent decisions faster on fresher, more accurate data.

Generative AI involves training models to generate new content such as images, text, music, and video. It represents the cutting edge of AI technology and goes beyond making predictions to creating new content.

Vectors are numerical representations of data that enable semantic search, allowing for the retrieval of contextually relevant information. They are used in various AI applications to improve the accuracy and relevance of search results.

AI improves user engagement by providing personalized, context-aware experiences. It also enhances business efficiency by making intelligent decisions faster, based on fresher and more accurate data.

Technologies like Next.js, OpenAI, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, and MongoDB Vector Search are used to build AI-powered React applications. These tools help integrate AI seamlessly and make applications smarter and more efficient.

The Ai-Assisted Developer Workflow: Build Faster and Smarter Today
AI is transforming software engineering by using agents to help with coding. Agents can autonomously complete tasks and make decisions based on data. Collaborative AI and automation are opening new possibilities in code generation. Bolt is a powerful tool for troubleshooting, bug fixing, and authentication. Code generation tools like Copilot and Cursor provide support for selecting models and codebase awareness. Cline is a useful extension for website inspection and testing. Guidelines for coding with agents include defining requirements, choosing the right model, and frequent testing. Clear and concise instructions are crucial in AI-generated code. Experienced engineers are still necessary in understanding architecture and problem-solving. Energy consumption insights and sustainability are discussed in the Talk.
