How IntelliNode Automates Complex Workflows with Vibe Agents
Many AI systems focus on isolated tasks or simple prompt engineering. This approach allowed us to build interesting applications from a single prompt, but we are starting to hit a limit. Simple prompting falls short when we tackle complex AI tasks that require multiple stages or enterprise systems t...
Agent creation has become easier than ever but have you ever thought – how can we make them more powerful than they already are? I recently thought of one possible way – what if they had realtime information about specific categories like finance and movies. That would be really cool, right? While e...
Build Your Own NotebookLlama: A PDF to Podcast Pipeline (Open, Fast, and Fully Yours)
The NotebookLM is a relatively new Internet phenomenon, in which Google has distinguished itself, thanks to its Audio Overview mode – a mechanism that transforms the text in the paper into a two-person podcast. All of this, in a single click. But what should you do when you wish to build it yourself...
