#235 Developing Generative AI Applications with Dmitry Shapiro, CEO of MindStudio 45:26

45:26

One of the big use cases of generative AI is having small applications to solve specific tasks. These are known as AI agents or AI assistants. Since they’re small and narrow in scope, you probably want to create and use lots of them, which means you need to be able to create them cheaply and easily. I’m curious as to how you go about doing this fro…

One of the most annoying conversations about data that happens far too often is: “Can you do an analysis and answer this business problem for me?” “Sure, where’s the data?” “I don’t know. Probably in one of our databases.” At this point more time is spent hunting for data than actually analyzing it. Rather than grumbling about it, it would obviousl…
