Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is an intelligent assistant that helps you find exactly what you’re looking for in a pile of medical records. Like an X-ray shows you hidden details inside the body, RAG helps you quickly extract precise information from complex data. RAG provides instant, accurate answers—often visualized in charts or summaries that require analysts to produce manually. RAG combines two AI capabilities—retrieval systems and generative models.

Generative AI in manufacturing refers to using advanced AI algorithms and generative models to optimize various aspects of the production process. This technology enables manufacturers to create innovative product designs, streamline workflows, predict maintenance needs, and boost efficiency in frontline operations. By integrating generative AI, manufacturers can enhance decision-making, collaboration, and data insights, ultimately improving overall performance.

For iPhone and iPad app development, one of the main aspects is the app’s performance. Performance is about your application not crashing, but also how quickly and smoothly it can carry out its functions when users interact with it. An application whose functions consume a lot of battery life, or an application that doesn’t like to wait too long until it finishes whatever it wants to do, can lead to users uninstalling the app.

Complexity is increasing exponentially. Compared to just 20 years ago, our personal lives and the way organizations do business has changed completely. This translates into increasingly complex and interrelated business processes and a sprawl of IT systems that can only function when each of its components runs flawlessly. Navigating this business/IT complexity can only be overcome by combining business process solutions, quality assurance tools and human ingenuity and expertise.
