Your AI Agents deserve something More Powerful Than Vector DB Every developer building AI agents right now is using a vector database. Embed your data, cosine similarity, retrieve, done. And it works... until it doesn't. HydraDB is trying to solve the problem, so I am making a series of... show more

Knowledge graphs are infinitely better than vector search for building the memory of AI agents. With five lines of code, you can build a knowledge graph with your data. When you see the results, you'll never go back to vector-mediocrity-land. Here is a quick video:

Vector databases are a scam. Not technically, they do exactly what they say. Return the most cosine-similar string to your query. The scam is the entire industry pretending that's the same thing as relevance. It isn't. Search "Apple." You get the fruit, the company, the watch, and a recipe blog. Your agent picks one at random and calls it retrieval. Your customer calls it broken. Most AI agents shipping right now are duct-taped on top of this. They demo well because demos are easy. They die in production because production is real. HydraDB's Founder Nish (Nishkarsh) said the quiet part out loud — "vector databases suck, similarity is not relevance" — and the demo signups haven't stopped since. He raised $6.5M because he was the first to name what everyone in the room already knew. If your retrieval layer is a flat embedding index, you're not building infrastructure. You're building a liability with a prettier name.

everybody talks about building AI chatbots, but nobody tells you HOW to do it that's why I made a full practical walkthrough on how to build an AI chatbot that's hooked up to your own custom knowledgebase inside of the walk-through i go over: – data collection: gathering all relevant documents, conversations, and info - preprocessing: cleaning up and formatting the collected data - chunking: break down the cleaned data into smaller, manageable pieces - embedding & storing in a vector database - RAG & chatbot integration: using RAG to allow the chatbot to retrieve relevant information from the vector database based on a user's question reply to this tweet w/ the word “RAG” & I’ll send it to you (must be following so I can DM)

AI agents managing your crypto sounds amazing. "What happens if it messes up? Maybe it tried to short Bitcoin — something you would never have done." As Mind Network CEO Christian shared in Tuesday's AMA: the problem is no clear path of recourse when agents fail. Privacy-first infrastructure is building the accountability layer AI agents need.

Everyone’s building more AI agents. Almost nobody is building a way for them to share your memory. MemU just did. Your AI now remembers you across every device and every agent, getting smarter after every conversation instead of starting from zero. This changes how personal AI actually works. 👇

What does it actually mean to be AI native? There was no clear guide on the internet for how to become AI native so we built the definitive one (60 min masterclass): 1. An AI native org has 3 layers: people for strategy and taste, agents for execution, and a shared context layer that makes the entire company readable to agents. 2. AI eats the middle of your work. You used to spend 80% of your day on execution. Now agents do that. Your job is the bookends: deciding what to do and judging whether it's good enough. 3. Everyone is a manager now. Your output is the output of your agents. If your agents produce garbage, that's on you. You set them up wrong. 4. Using ChatGPT doesn't make you AI native. That's like having a website and calling yourself a tech company lol. 5. No AI native org without AI native people. Most companies skip straight to the tools. That's why it fails. If your people don't understand how to manage agents, the tech doesn't matter. 6. Making your company "readable" to agents is the real work. Every process, every decision, every piece of knowledge needs to exist in a format an agent can consume. Most companies are nowhere close. 7. Speed without signal is just expensive chaos. You need the system to move fast AND know if you're moving in the right direction. 8. The skill chain is how agents get good at your specific workflows. Skills build on skills. The more you invest in them, the more your company compounds. 9. The moat is the system. People managing agents, agents reading from rich context, the whole thing getting smarter every week. That compounds. Your competitor can copy your tools. They can't copy your system. Full episode with Theo Tabah from LCA on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃. This is the stuff we normally keep internal but all the sauce is yours. Theo Tabah is the brains behind advising the world's biggest companies on AI and building AI products. Your fav CEO's first call for figuring out AI. You are in for a treat Become AI native in under 60 minutes Watch

AI agents are failing in production...not a surprise. As you scale your knowledge base, embeddings start creating noise. It’s called ‘semantic collapse’ - when conversations run too long, you have hundreds of PDFs, millions of data points to give to your AI. Your AI can’t flag it because it doesn’t know it’s hallucinating. Similarity gets passed off as relevance. Fix your context. Make your agents work. Build intelligent AI. If your AI is plateauing at 50% accuracy and hallucinations are still a problem, let's talk. Book a 20 minute demo with the link in the next thread. We'll dig into your setup and find out how we can help.

MOST AI STACKS ARE A COMPLETE MESS 🚨 MongoDB just dropped 3 Free AI Skill Badges covering the AI foundations that ACTUALLY matter: 1/ a unified semantic search experience 2/ a scalable vector database 3/ a persistent memory state for agents Because production AI doesn't need a dozen disconnected tools. Yet most teams still fall into the trap of building exactly that: > a specialized vector database here > a separate memory layer there > an orchestration framework on top! and suddenly... your architecture is like a bowl of spaghetti. What you should do is much simpler. These 3 free modules are hands-on lessons for building production-ready AI apps on the unified database you already know. Here's what each one covers 🧵↓

I built an entire RAG application without writing any code. This is one of the easiest ways to start building AI applications. I used Langflow. It's open-source. It's a visual interface for building and deploying AI applications. I built a couple of workflows to show you how it works, and I'm impressed! Check the video I recorded. I built two workflows: 1. The first one loads data into a vector store database (Astra DB). 2. The second asks questions from that data using OpenAI's models. Langchain does the heavy lifting behind the scenes, but having a visual interface makes this 10 times easier. Here is Langflow's GitHub repository: In the video, I used their pre-release version. The development experience for building AI applications is improving tremendously! What a time to be a builder!

🚨 Tiger Data - Creators of TimescaleDB (Yes! the team behind TimescaleDB) is quietly revolutionizing how we build agents. The Old Way: Glueing together Postgres + Vector DBs + Search tools = complexity. The New Way: Tiger Data’s Agentic Postgres handles it all natively 🔥 What’s now possible 🧵 ↓ ✦ Hybrid retrieval → combine keyword filtering and vector similarity in a single query ✦ Forkable databases → retrieval and safe experimentation without external systems ✦ Native Postgres semantics → everything stays queryable, inspectable, and debuggable in SQL Why this matters: → Fewer moving parts in RAG pipelines → No extra infrastructure to stitch together → Agents can iterate and learn safely → Production data stays isolated and protected This is an awesome shift! Stop bolting workflows onto your database. Let your database be the workflow 🔥

Postman is going all-in on AI! Their AI Agent Builder is live (and it's pretty powerful!) Postman's API Network has 100,000+ APIs and they just released a suite of tools for building AI Agents that can automatically discover and connect to any of these APIs. Think about it for a second: You can now build an AI agent that searches the network, discovers an API, processes its documentation, connects to it, and evaluates whether everything worked at the end of the process. This is a huge deal. Every person I know uses the Postman client to work with APIs. Now, they will have access to the AI Agent Builder, a complete suite for designing, building, testing, and deploying agents. I've built a few simple agents myself, and it's tough. The ability to discover and use an API automatically is really exciting (and a huge time saver if it works as promised!) In collaboration with the Postman team, who is sponsoring this post, I recorded a video with my thoughts about the Postman AI Agent Builder.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI: "GPT 5.6 is 54% more efficient on agentic coding, and it's still the best on the market for half the cost." AI spend has never mattered as much as it does today. As a result the models keep getting better and cheaper at the same time. This is going to widen the gap between the people using AI agents and everyone else, because now it's not just powerful, it's cheap. That's exactly why i wrote a full step by step guide on agents, what they are and how to build your own from scratch. Read it below.
