Creating and testing a RAG-powered AI app with Gemini and CircleCI

Have you ever asked an AI model a question and received an outdated or completely off-base response? I’ve been there too. The problem is that most AI models rely solely on their pre-trained knowledge, which becomes obsolete over time. This is where RAG can help: RAG is a hybrid AI technique that combines the advantages of retrieval systems and generative models. It bridges the gap by bringing in real-time information from external knowledge sources to improve the generation quality.

Is There an Advantage to Moving Machine Vision Systems to the Cloud?

I was recently asked this question on an episode of the Industrial Automation Insider podcast. I immediately called out the need to look closer at cloud-based training of the AI models that serve as the decision engines within these automation systems. Why haven’t more manufacturers, warehouse operators, or healthcare providers jumped on this opportunity? They’re all using machine vision systems in various ways, often across multiple sites that are geographically distant from one another.

The raw data imported from the external sources (CSV, SQL, REST API, LDAP, etc.) is usually not in the right format. Hence, they have to be processed or converted before they are used to modify objects using synchronization rules. To do this, Icinga Director provides different property modifiers. There are many property modifiers provided by Icinga Director.
