USE CASE: VIRTUAL EXPERT

Build custom chatbots, copilots, translators, and more with automated GenAI data orchestration in enterprise-hardened Postgres®—all using familiar SQL.

THE CHALLENGE

Expertise requires vast data

Developers face critical data orchestration challenges when building virtual expert applications such as chatbots and copilots. Efficiently managing vast vector data to build responsive GenAI applications while ensuring those systems can be flexibly deployed in various business contexts is a difficult balance to maintain—especially in regulated industries where developers also have to navigate complex compliance and privacy standards.

OUR SOLUTION

GenAI virtual experts, made simple

AI Accelerator from EDB Postgres AI simplifies development of virtual expert applications. The Pipelines extension provides automatic vector embedding, updates, and retrieval—and comes with the pgvector extension built in, enabling complex vector data management using existing SQL in familiar, enterprise-hardened Postgres. This drives faster development of secure, compliant GenAI chatbots and copilots to meet needs across the business.

Enterprise-ready vector toolkit


The Pipelines extension comes preloaded with pgvector for seamless management of vector data in Postgres, enabling developers to build secure GenAI chatbots and copilots using SQL in the familiar Postgres environment—with just 5 lines of code instead of 130+—backed by enterprise-grade tools and support.

Automated Pipelines


The Pipelines extension provides automated data fetching from Postgres or object storage, generation of vector embeddings as new data is ingested, and triggered updates to embeddings when source data changes—streamlining the creation of custom AI assistants and tools for use across the business.

Robust compliance and security features


EDB Postgres AI includes advanced security measures and compliance tools, allowing developers to implement AI solutions that adhere to strict regulatory requirements while maintaining flexibility across different business environments and geographical locations.

EDB Postgres AI enables GenAI virtual expert applications

marketecture

AI Accelerator leverages the Pipelines extension’s Intelligent Retriever to fetch data from Postgres or object storage, and then Auto Embedding seamlessly converts data to vector embeddings using chosen models—which are kept up-to-date with source data via triggers. Customer queries entered into the GenAI Virtual Expert application are converted to embeddings using the same GenAI encoder, and the Intelligent Retriever fetches results from semantic search.
