    Watch the Video

    Okay, so this video about OpenAI’s Agent Builder is seriously cool and timely. It walks you through creating agentic workflows visually, using a drag-and-drop interface. You can connect different tools and then publish these workflows using ChatKit and the Agents SDK. Think of it as a no-code/low-code way to orchestrate AI agents, taking them from theoretical concept to actual, functioning components in your applications.

    For those of us diving into AI coding and LLM-based workflows, this is a game-changer. We’re moving beyond just writing code and more into designing AI-driven processes. Being able to visually map out and connect tools, without getting bogged down in complex code at the initial stage, allows you to experiment and prototype much faster. You could build an agent to handle customer support queries, automate content generation, or even manage parts of your CI/CD pipeline—all without needing to be a hardcore AI specialist.

    What’s really exciting is the practical application. Imagine visually designing a workflow where a customer’s request triggers a search using a specific API, summarizes the findings using an LLM, and then sends a personalized response—all handled by an agent you built with drag-and-drop. This is where development is heading: less manual coding of every step and more orchestration of AI-powered components. I’m personally eager to try this out because it aligns perfectly with building more intelligent, automated systems while minimizing the boilerplate. Plus, visual tools can be amazing for quickly iterating and demonstrating complex workflows to non-technical stakeholders.

  • Your RAG Agent Needs a Hybrid Search Engine (n8n)



    Date: 10/02/2025

    Watch the Video

    Okay, this video on building a Hybrid RAG Search Engine in n8n is exactly the kind of thing that gets me fired up about the future of development. We’re talking about moving beyond simple vector embeddings for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and into a more robust, real-world applicable search solution. It walks you through combining dense embeddings (semantic search), sparse retrieval (BM25, lexical search), and even pattern matching within an n8n workflow using Supabase and Pinecone. The coolest part? It dynamically weights these methods based on the query type. Forget AI hallucinations!

    Why is this valuable for us transitioning to AI-enhanced development? Because it addresses a very real problem: vector search alone often fails for exact matches and specific details. As someone who’s struggled with searching through piles of documentation and code using just vector databases, I can attest to that! This approach of hybrid search, especially the dynamic weighting, aligns perfectly with the kind of automation and intelligent workflows I’m aiming to build. Think about applying this to customer support bots that need to accurately find product information, or internal knowledge bases that require precise code snippet retrieval.

    Seriously, the idea of programmatically shifting search strategies based on the question being asked is a game-changer. I see this as a concrete step towards building truly intelligent and adaptable AI agents. Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) isn’t something I’ve used extensively, but I can already think of 10 different applications for my clients to build a better search. I’m definitely going to be experimenting with this setup – n8n, Supabase, and Pinecone are all tools I’m familiar with, so the barrier to entry is pretty low and the potential payoff is huge. It’s time to stop relying on “good enough” vector search and start building something truly intelligent!

    Alright, this video on Docling is seriously inspiring for anyone, like myself, diving headfirst into AI-enhanced workflows. It tackles a huge pain point: getting your data, regardless of format, into a shape that LLMs can actually use effectively. RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) is a powerful concept, but only if you can feed the LLM relevant and properly structured data. Docling streamlines the whole “curation” process by offering an open-source pipeline that can extract and chunk text from almost any file type. Seeing it in action, parsing PDFs, audio files, and other formats, really highlights its versatility.

    Why is this video a must-watch? Because it bridges the gap between theory and practice. We’re not just talking about RAG; we’re seeing how to practically implement it with a tool designed for the job. The demo of the Docling RAG AI agent is particularly valuable. It’s a template we can actually use, dissect, and adapt to our own projects. Imagine building a chatbot that can instantly access and understand all your company’s documentation, even if it’s scattered across PDFs, audio recordings, and other random formats. The video highlights how to make that happen.

    Honestly, I’m excited to start experimenting with Docling. The promise of simplifying data ingestion and chunking for LLMs is a game-changer, especially in our fast-paced world. The ability to train an AI agent on internal knowledge with minimal hassle? Sign me up!

  • AI Agents for Softr Databases: Build Smarter Tables with AI



    Date: 10/02/2025

    Watch the Video

    Okay, this Softr video about AI Agents for databases is seriously inspiring, especially if you’re like me and trying to ditch the drudgery of repetitive coding tasks. Basically, it shows how you can use AI agents directly within your Softr databases to automate things like lead qualification, data enrichment, and even customer support. Forget about manually updating records or writing custom scripts for every little thing – these agents jump in on record creation or updates and take care of it.

    What’s killer is the level of control. You’re not just throwing data into a black box; you get to define the prompts, pick the AI model (GPT-4o, Claude, etc.), and set conditions for when the agent runs. Imagine automatically enriching new leads with company size, industry info, and a personalized follow-up email – all triggered when the “Lead Quality” score hits a certain threshold! Or automatically categorizing support tickets using your product documentation and drafting consistent responses? That’s huge for freeing up developer time.

    The beauty of this is its real-world applicability. Think CRMs, internal tools, client portals – anywhere you’re dealing with data that needs to be kept current and where your team is wasting time on manual updates. For example, on a recent project to build a lightweight internal tool, instead of writing custom functions to update and tag records, I could have used these agents and saved at least 2 days. It’s worth experimenting with because it’s a tangible way to see how AI and no-code can streamline development and let us focus on the more challenging, creative aspects of our work.
