We are not talking just chatbots - albeit more intelligent ones!

An AI agent/assistant can be tasked to do specific things to reach a goal and work with other agents, either in parallel, or sequential (i.e. do all these things first, then does this).

The cool thing is each AI agent can use a completely different model i.e. you don’t have to tie everything into just chatGPT/Open AI. You might find a different model or model sets beneficial for certain things.

Also, the big component is a mix of RAG (retrieval augmented generation), goal setting and external “tools” or functions where you can call out to external systems.

I will be creating a video (Just Fifteen Mins! as if I ever stick to any timeline!) to explain a few of these concepts in more details. I am also going to be creating a workshop course too! not overly technical, but mostly from a business perspective about the concepts and how they could benefit companies. Again, we are not talking just fancy chatbots!

Until next time, take care everyone!

Please consider subscribing too! It’s okay, you don’t have to pay - unless you want to of course! :) If you do pay for a subscription, you will get a free weekly update from the chief unicorn - Ulysses :)

Well, for the time being, I am sticking with OneNote as I have so much in there!

However, the way Obsidian Notes is moving, is looking tempting. Of course, the notes/data stay on your device which is a plus however, for convenience, you will most likely need the data synchronised to your other devices. It is possible of course!

Also, AI is ever creeping in to everything in modern life - love it or hate it.

Okay, two suggestions for the price of one!

Both from my good friend Tim Abel who also has a podcast if you wish to take a listen.

In fairness, the first GitHub Action thing, I have little idea of what/how this is used and even when I looked at the use case, I was still a little baffled! I guess you need to be “an actual developer” to appreciate this! :)

On to the second suggestion, Playwright for browser web app testing. I get this and it is nice to remember that you don’t need to code lots of things like good old selenium. You can test your web app as a user would use your application. It has some wide support for different languages and seems to be easy enough to get started.

Thanks again Tim!
