The AI revolution is rapidly changing the landscape, leading to an unexpected shift in roles. Developers, are now finding themselves outpaced by the speed of technological advancements—especially in AI, where time for research is scarce. Join Tim Faulkes as he shares his journey through this challenge and delves into vector databases: their applications, limitations, and key factors to consider when selecting one.
This workshop offers a comprehensive journey from VectorDB basics to real-world RAG integration. Participants will help create a simple vector database and see what a difference it makes to some financial service applications like chatbots. Discover how VectorDB and semantic search can supercharge applications to provide additional insight in financial contexts, like fraud detection and trade compliance. If you’ve heard the buzzwords of vectors, RAG, LLMs and so on and want to understand what they mean and how to use them then don’t miss this workshop.
Key Takeaways:
-Real-world understanding of VectorDB implementation for heightened awareness of the AI ecosystem and how to best utilize it
-Insight into Vector Databases' pivotal role in the application ecosystem
-Application of VectorDB, RAG, and semantic search in financial services scenarios.
