Declarative Forms with OutSystems Developer Cloud Building forms in OutSystems is incredibly fast. You simply define a structure, add a form element to the canvas, and drag and drop the individual fields into the form. This is excellent for static forms linked to data structures, but only developers...

Introducing Alexa+, the next generation of Alexa Powered by generative AI, Alexa+ is your new personal AI assistant that gets things done—she’s smarter, more conversational, more capable, and free with Prime.

Today Amazon announced Alexa+ and it sounds really promising. I'm curious how this will impact skill development and how we will be able to develop our own "experts" for it.

If you say you are all-in cloud native development and the only cloud service you are using is Kubernetes (plus some surrounding infrastructure services), then we have a fundamental different understanding of cloud native.

The Insanity of Relying on Vector Embeddings: Why RAG Fails In RAG, the goal is to locate the stored information that has the highest percentage of sameness to the provided query. Vector similarity search does not do this.

🧨We’ll soon host a webinar around building production-ready AI agents with @n8n.io.

It’s going to cover:
1⃣ using Qdrant for anomaly detection and classification on multimodal embeddings
2⃣ using n8n for designing AI Agentic workflows with all the possible tools & connections.

Despite low-code with OutSystems, I use JetBrains Rider surprisingly often to develop extensions for the platform. Most recently extensions for Microsoft Kernel Memory to support embedding generation with AWS Titan and text generation via AWS Bedrock Converse. 😅
