Most people trying to build a vertical AI business start by building the agent. That's the mistake. Here's the 5-step order that actually works: Step 1) Find a boring pain point - Pick a workflow you already know from your job. - That's your unfair advantage. Step 2) Map the workflow - Literally draw it out. - Every step, every handoff. Step 3) Do the job as a service - Manually. - For real clients. - Before any code. Step 4) Document the edge cases - This is where the real IP lives. - You only find them by doing the work. Step 5) Add vertical agents to replace each step - Now you have proprietary data and a workflow you own. Skip steps 1–4 and you're just building a demo.

Announcing a new Coursera course: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) You'll learn to build high performance, production-ready RAG systems in this hands-on, in-depth course created by and taught by Zain, experienced AI and ML engineer, researcher, and educator. RAG is a critical component today of many LLM-based applications in customer support, internal company Q&A systems, even many of the leading chatbots that use web search to answer your questions. This course teaches you in-depth how to make RAG work well. LLMs can produce generic or outdated responses, especially when asked specialized questions not covered in its training data. RAG is the most widely used technique for addressing this. It brings in data from new data sources, such as internal documents or recent news, to give the LLM the relevant context to private, recent, or specialized information. This lets it generate more grounded and accurate responses. In this course, you’ll learn to design and implement every part of a RAG system, from retrievers to vector databases to generation to evals. You’ll learn about the fundamental principles behind RAG and how to optimize it at both the component and whole-system levels. As AI evolves, RAG is evolving too. New models can handle longer context windows, reason more effectively, and can be parts of complex agentic workflows. One exciting growth area is Agentic RAG, in which an AI agent at runtime (rather than it being hardcoded at development time) autonomously decides what data to retrieve, and when/how to go deeper. Even with this evolution, access to high-quality data at runtime is essential, which is why RAG is a key part of so many applications. You'll learn via hands-on experiences to: - Build a RAG system with retrieval and prompt augmentation - Compare retrieval methods like BM25, semantic search, and Reciprocal Rank Fusion - Chunk, index, and retrieve documents using a Weaviate vector database and a news dataset - Develop a chatbot, using open-source LLMs hosted by Together AI, for a fictional store that answers product and FAQ questions - Use evals to drive improving reliability, and incorporate multi-modal data RAG is an important foundational technique. Become good at it through this course! Please sign up here:

New short course: Evaluating AI Agents! Evals are important for driving AI system improvements, and in this course you'll learn to systematically assess and improve an AI agent’s performance. This is built in partnership with Arize AI and taught by John Gilhuly, Head of Developer Relations, and , Director of Product. I've often found evals to be a critical tool in the agent development process - they can be the difference between picking the right thing to work on vs. wasting weeks of effort. Whether you’re building a shopping assistant, coding agent, or research assistant, having a structured evaluation process helps you refine its performance systematically, rather than relying on random trial and error. This course shows you how to structure your evals to assess the performance of each component of an agent and its end-to-end performance. For each component, you select the appropriate evaluators, test examples, and performance metrics. This helps you identify areas for improvement both during development and in production. (If you're familiar with error analysis in supervised learning, think of this as adapting those ideas to agentic workflows.) In this course, you'll build an AI agent, and add observability to visualize and debug its steps. You’ll learn about code-based evals, in which you write code explicitly to test a certain step, as well as LLM-as-a-Judge evals, in which you prompt an LLM to efficiently come up with ways to evaluate more open-ended outputs. In detail, you’ll: - Understand key differences between evaluating LLM-based systems and traditional software testing. - Add observability to an agent by collecting traces of the steps taken by the agent and visualizing them - Choose the appropriate evaluator - code-based, LLM-as-a-Judge, human-annotation based - for each component. - Compute a convergence score to evaluate if your agent can respond to a query in an efficient number of steps. - Run structured experiments to improve the agent’s performance by exploring changes to the prompt, LLM model, or the agent’s logic. - Understand how to deploy these evaluation techniques to monitor the agent’s performance in production. By the end of this course, you’ll know how to trace AI agents, systematically evaluate them, and improve their performance. Please sign up here:

Traditional data pipelines don't work for RAG applications. There are 3 issues with them: ​ 1. Traditional data engineering solutions are optimized to handle structured data. RAG applications rely primarily on unstructured data. ​ 2. The connector ecosystem to load data from unstructured data sources is very immature. ​ 3. Traditional solutions do not offer any way to transform unstructured data into an optimized vector search index. ​ The goal of a RAG Pipeline is to solve these problems. ​ The number one objective is to create a reliable vector search index using factual knowledge and relevant context. This sounds easy, but it's one of the biggest challenges we face when building RAG applications. ​ At a high level, there are four different stages in the architecture of a RAG pipeline: ​ 1. Ingestion: Here is where the pipeline loads the information from the data source. ​ 2. Extraction: Where the pipeline processes the input data and decides how to retrieve the text contained inside them. ​ 3. Transform: Where the pipeline chunks the data and generates document embeddings. ​ 4. Load: Where the pipeline creates a search index in a vector database and loads the document embeddings. ​ There are different rabbit holes at each one of these stages. Here are three of them: ​ 1. Ingesting data once is simple. The hard part is refreshing the vector database whenever the original data source changes. ​ 2. Extracting the content of a plain text document is simple. The hard part is to extract content from complex documents containing tables, images, or cross-references. ​ 3. A simple continual chunking strategy with an overlap is simple. The hard part is to find the optimal strategy for your specific knowledge base and the way you are planning to query it. ​ In the attached video, I'll show you how you can build an enterprise-grade RAG Pipeline that solves every one of the above problems. ​ I'll use Vectorize. They partnered with me on this post. You can use them to build RAG pipelines optimized for accurate context retrieval. ​ ​ If you have a few documents lying around, set up a free account and give it a try.

The shift from Copilot to Autopilot is happening now. This is the Agentic Frontier, and while 82% of leaders are investing in it, most are not ready. Why? Because they're stuck in Phase 1 (AI Assistants) while the winners are already building for Phase 3 (Human-Led, Agent-Operated) operations. The gap between pilot and production is where most AI initiatives die. It's not a tech problem. It's a culture, governance, and data problem. But it's possible to cross this chasm. Enjoyed attending Microsoft Ignite with the EY team this past week. I learn about their "Client Zero" journey, 400,000+ people were enabled with operational AI tools. How? They didn't just deploy AI—they became AI-first. Here's the 3-step action plan to cross the frontier: 1️⃣ Mindset Shift: From prompting AI → delegating outcomes to AI. 2️⃣ Laser Focus: Target one painful, high-volume, low-creativity process to prove ROI and build momentum. 3️⃣ Build the Foundation: Create an AI-ready data estate and robust governance. You can't build a skyscraper on a swamp. Start small. Scale fast. I learn one think during my San Francisco visit. It is no longer the question of whether autonomous agents will reshape your industry, but when—and whether you'll lead or follow. Learn how >

New Short Course: Getting Structured LLM Output! Learn how to get structured outputs from your LLM applications in this course, built in partnership with .txt, and taught by Will Kurt, a Founding Engineer, and , Developer Relations Engineer. It's challenging for software to automatically parse through an LLM's freeform text outputs. Structured outputs—like JSON—solve this by converting natural language into consistent, clear, data that a machine can read and process. This course teaches you how to generate structured outputs while building several use cases, including a social media analysis agent. You’ll learn about structured outputs and efficient ways to generate outputs in your defined schema or format. You’ll begin by using structured output APIs, then use re-prompting libraries like “instructor” to generate structured output. Finally, you’ll learn how constrained decoding works; this is a very clever technique in which constraints are applied on each subsequent token generated, blocking any tokens that don’t fit your defined schema. In detail, you’ll: - Learn why structured outputs are important, how they allow for scalable software development, and the different approaches to generate them, including vendor-provided APIs, re-prompting libraries, and structured generation. - Build a simple social media agent using OpenAI’s structured output API, learn how to define a model's desired structured output using Pydantic, and perform basic programming with your outputs, such as importing structured data into a data frame using pandas. - Learn how to use the open-source library "instructor," which checks the structured output of the model and re-prompts the model until it validates the desired output, and explore the limitations of this approach. - Understand how structured generation by the “outlines” library works by modifying LLM logits, on a per-generated-token basis based on the desired format, to give a particular output structure. - Learn how regular expressions, which outlines works with, are represented as finite-state machines, and how they can be used to develop a range of structured outputs beyond JSON. By the end of this course, you’ll have broadened your knowledge of the approaches you can use to get structured outputs from your LLM applications. Please sign up here:

AutoGPT might be the next big step in AI. Here's why Karpathy recently said "AutoGPT is the next frontier of prompt engineering" AutoGPT is the equivalent of giving GPT-based models a memory and a body. You can now give a task to an AI agent and have it autonomously come up with a plan, execute on it, browse the web, and use new data to revise the strategy until the task is completed. It can analyze the market and come up with a trading strategy, customer service, marketing, finance, or other tasks that requires continuous updates. There are three components to it: 1. Architecture: It leverages GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 via API. 2. Autonomous Iterations: AutoGPT can refine its outputs by self-critical review, building on its previous work and integrating prompt history for more accurate results. 3. Memory Management: Integration with Pinecone allows for long-term memory storage, enabling context preservation and improved decision-making. 4. Multi-functionality: Capabilities include file manipulation, web browsing, and data retrieval, distinguishing AutoGPT from previous AI advancements by broadening its application scope.

Your agents can't keep up with real-time data. Especially when it's scattered across dozens of sources. Most teams waste weeks building custom connectors for every database, API, and data warehouse. Then they build ETL pipelines to sync everything. By the time your agent retrieves the data, it's already outdated. Picture this: Your Postgres database updated 5 minutes ago. Your MongoDB collection changed 2 minutes ago. Your agent is still pulling from yesterday's snapshot. This is why most production RAG systems fail. There's a better approach: MindsDB is an open-source AI platform with a federated data engine that lets you query multiple data sources in real-time using SQL - without moving any data. Here's what makes it different: ↳ Your data stays in place. No ETL pipelines or data duplication ↳ Query Postgres, MongoDB, REST APIs, and more using consistent SQL ↳ JOIN across different sources in real-time with a unified interface ↳ Works with both structured and un-structured data And here's the best part: You don't even need to write SQL. Just describe what you want in plain English, and MindsDB converts it to SQL automatically. The system does all the heavy lifting. The breakthrough for AI agents is simple: When data updates at the source, your agent gets fresh results immediately. No sync delays. No stale embeddings. No custom code for each integration. You can literally write a SQL query that joins a Postgres table with a MongoDB collection and gets live results. This is what production AI applications need but rarely get. In this video, I give you a complete walkthrough of what we just discussed and how to actually do it. Make sure you watch this till the end. I've shared the link to MindsDB's GitHub repo in the next tweet!

Monetizing your own AI app just got really easy. Last week I used YouAI to create an AI-powered bio generator. It took me less than an hour and I didn't need any programming skills. And now it just made it's first sale. All you need is a good idea and some prompting skills. Here's how you can create your own: Step 1: Setup → Go to → Sign up, then click on "new AI" (you can also remix an existing AI if you're lazy) Step 2: Create prompt → Within the "preamble" you can create the main prompt for this AI → In my example I described the assistant's goal (bio generator) and defined the format of the bios → I also added some bio examples to train the AI Step 3: Configure inputs → Now you define what the user inputs when using the AI app → In my case I defined 3 user inputs: - What topic do you tweet about? - What is your background? What have you achieved? - How do you help your followers? The answers are then used as variables to create the bios. Step 4: Publish → Select the underlying model (GPT or Claude) → Keep the app free or turn on monetization → Then publish! Your app will now be available in the YouAI library for others to use YouAI is also doing a live event tomorrow where they'll go into more detail and teach you how to build your own YouAI app: Thank you to YouAI for sponsoring this post! I'm a big fan of their product.

Scale alone is not enough for AI data. Quality and complexity are equally critical. Excited to support all of these for LLM developers with Snorkel AI Data-as-a-Service, and to share our new leaderboard! — Our decade-plus of research and work in AI data has a simple point: scale alone is not enough. AI success is all about the quality, complexity, and distribution of data—in addition to volume. We’re excited to be powering leading LLM developers with Snorkel AI Expert Data-as-a-Service, our white glove service for custom, expert-level AI datasets—and to now preview some of what we’re building via our new Expert Data Leaderboard (🔗 in 🧵) + upcoming OSS dataset releases! Snorkel Expert Data-as-a-Service is built to meet the rapidly evolving data needs of the agentic AI world—where success is built on the quality, complexity, and distribution of datasets, in addition to size and scale. This kind of high-quality, frontier AI data can only come from a union of technology and human expertise. With Snorkel Expert Data-as-a-Service, we’re powering frontier LLM developers across agentic, expert knowledge, reasoning, coding, multi-modal, and other task types via the combination of these two key components: - (1) The Snorkel Expert Network: A global team of subject matter experts focused wholly on specialized knowledge–spanning thousands of topics in STEM/academic, vertical/professional, and consumer/lifestyle domains. - (2) Snorkel AI Data Development Platform: Our unique programmatic data curation and quality control platform, accelerating and improving expert authoring and review through principled techniques developed over the last decade of R&D. Now: we’re incredibly excited to showcase some of the power of Snorkel Expert Data-as-a-Service via the new Snorkel Leaderboard—putting frontier models to the test in complex, agentic, and reasoning settings inspired by real industry scenarios (not esoteric puzzles)! We’ll be releasing new leaderboards and accompanying expert-verified open source datasets (coming soon!) regularly. To start, we’re sharing three initial ones in preview: - SnorkelFinance: Q&A over financial documents requiring agentic tool-calling and reasoning - SnorkelUnderwrite: Agentic insurance tasks requiring industry-specific reasoning and tool use - SnorkelSequences: Mathematical tasks requiring compositional multi-step reasoning

Building Data Pipelines has levels to it: - level 0 Understand the basic flow: Extract → Transform → Load (ETL) or ELT This is the foundation. - Extract: Pull data from sources (APIs, DBs, files) - Transform: Clean, filter, join, or enrich the data - Load: Store into a warehouse or lake for analysis You’re not a data engineer until you’ve scheduled a job to pull CSVs off an SFTP server at 3AM! level 1 Master the tools: - Airflow for orchestration - dbt for transformations - Spark or PySpark for big data - Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift for warehouses - Kafka or Kinesis for streaming Understand when to batch vs stream. Most companies think they need real-time data. They usually don’t. level 2 Handle complexity with modular design: - DAGs should be atomic, idempotent, and parameterized - Use task dependencies and sensors wisely - Break transformations into layers (staging → clean → marts) - Design for failure recovery. If a step fails, how do you re-run it? From scratch or just that part? Learn how to backfill without breaking the world. level 3 Data quality and observability: - Add tests for nulls, duplicates, and business logic - Use tools like Great Expectations, Monte Carlo, or built-in dbt tests - Track lineage so you know what downstream will break if upstream changes Know the difference between: - a late-arriving dimension - a broken SCD2 - and a pipeline silently dropping rows At this level, you understand that reliability > cleverness. level 4 Build for scale and maintainability: - Version control your pipeline configs - Use feature flags to toggle behavior in prod - Push vs pull architecture - Decouple compute and storage (e.g. Iceberg and Delta Lake) - Data mesh, data contracts, streaming joins, and CDC are words you throw around because you know how and when to use them. What else belongs in the journey to mastering data pipelines?

Today, Box is announcing major new AI agent capabilities to let customers tap into the full value of their unstructured data. First, we’re announcing all new updates to the Box AI Studio to make it even easier to build AI agents that tap into your enterprise content for any job function, business process, or industry specific use case. We are also expanding our set of foundational agents that customers will be able to use to work with their enterprise content, including new features like search and research on unstructured data. Next, we’re announcing Box Extract to enable customers to use AI agents seamlessly for complex data extraction from any type of document or content. This makes it easier than ever to pull out data from contracts, invoices, research data, marketing assets, medical charts, and more. Finally, we’re introducing Box Automate, a new workflow automation solution within Box that lets you deploy AI agents across enterprise content-centric workflows. With Box Automate, you can design your business process in a simple drag and drop builder and then drop in AI agents at any step in the process. This ensures agents execute tasks at the right steps in a workflow every time. Best of all, our AI agents and workflow tools are designed to work across any system our customers work within, whether it’s leveraging pre-built integrations, Box APIs, or the new Box MCP Server. Ultimately, all of these capabilities come together to transform how companies can work with their enterprise content. Software has historically only been good at automating work that deals with structured data, which is why ERP, CRM, and HR systems have been mainstays of enterprise software for so long. The data in these systems fits neatly into a database, and the workflows are very ripe for automation. But it turns out most of the work in the world deals with unstructured data. It’s ideating through research documents, working with a client on contracts, reviewing details for a new product launch, looking at a patient’s healthcare record to make a diagnosis, working through due diligence documents for an M&A deal, and so on. For the first time ever, we can begin to bring all new insights and automation to this work with AI agents. At Box, we’re incredibly excited to be on this journey to help customers transform how they work with their most important data.

MCP is an absolute game-changer. (Together with DeepSeek, MCP is probably the hottest thing in AI over the last 6 months.) I use Cursor to write code 90% of the time. I built an MCP server to connect the Cursor agent to GroundX, an open-source RAG system, and I'm not going back. This is officially insane! Here is what I did, step by step: First, a little bit of context. I maintain an end-to-end Machine Learning System with several pipelines to process data, train, evaluate, register, deploy, and monitor a model. I've written a lot of documentation explaining how the system works and how to modify and maintain it. There's also the documentation of the few libraries I used to build the system. I'm a massive fan of GroundX, an open-source enterprise-grade RAG system you can run on your servers or deploy to any cloud provider. I've been working with them for a long time. GroundX offers two services. First, the "ingest" service uses a custom, pretrained vision model to ingest and understand your data. I used this to process all the documentation I have for my code. Markdown files, source code, HTML files, and even PDF documents. Everything I've written related to my project went into GroundX. Their second service is "search," which combines text and vector search with a fine-tuned re-ranker model to retrieve information from the data. I needed to connect Cursor with this service, and that's where MCP came in. I built an MCP server with two tools: 1. The first tool would go to GroundX and retrieve the available topics. Splitting the data into topics (or "buckets," as GroundX calls them) allows me to use the same setup to serve documentation from different topics. 2. The second tool would search GroundX under a specific topic for the context related to the supplied query. The magic happens after connecting the MCP server with Cursor. Now, I can ask any questions related to my project, and Cursor's AI agent retrieves the list of available topics from the RAG system and then searches it to provide relevant context to the model. I went from getting mediocre, sometimes wrong answers to 100% truthful, complete answers. Here is the crazy part:

If you could only learn one thing that will be relevant for the next 10-20 years, focus on learning how to deal with data. The future is not about faster hardware, smarter algorithms, or better ideas. The future is about DATA, and those who know how to deal with it will stay relevant much longer than anyone else. I recorded a video to show you how easy it is to get started. In the video, I'm using Kestra. For a long time, I was a fan of AirFlow. Then, I moved to AWS Step Functions. Today, I only use Kestra. Kestra is open-source (repo link below) and kind enough to sponsor my work. The video will show you how easy it is to do the following: 1. Run Kestra locally (literally, one command) 2. Build a simple flow 3. Run Python scripts as part of your flow 4. Connect to HuggingFace models If you have never built a data pipeline, open Kestra's Quick Start Guide and follow their examples. (I think it will take you one weekend to feel comfortable with the application and build the courage you need to get into more serious work.)
