Build your AI Assistant with RAG

Posted Posted in Events, News

Join Wayfare’s next webinar with George Ene (Tech Lead) and Mihai Neagoe (Operations Manager) on Wednesday 25th June 2025 at 15:30 CEST

Do you want to build smarter, more accurate AI assistants? Learn how Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) brings together the power of large language models and external data sources to deliver intelligent, context-aware answers.  

In this webinar, we’ll walk you through the RAG architecture and show you how to apply it in real-world scenarios—including a hands-on example within the OpenEdge environment.

Agenda Highlights:

  • What is RAG and how it works – A clear breakdown of how RAG combines retrieval and generation for better AI responses.
  • Why RAG? – Key benefits over traditional AI models.
  • Intro to Vector Databases – What they are and why they matter
  • How Vector Databases are Used in RAG – See how data is stored, searched, and retrieved.
  • Evaluation Metrics – Learn how to measure your RAG system’s performance.
  • Live Example: ChatOE – Watch RAG in action with a real use case inside OpenEdge.
 

Whether you’re just starting out with RAG or looking to deepen your understanding, this session will give you the tools and insights to start building your own AI assistant with confidence.

 

Bringing Intelligence to OpenEdge: Embedding Agentic AI in Your Applications

Posted Posted in Events, News

Join inmydata’s next webinar with Nick Finch (CTO) on Wednesday 9th July  2025 at 15:00-16:00 BST

The world of business software is rapidly evolving with the rise of agentic AI — intelligent systems capable of autonomous decision-making and complex task execution. In this webinar, we’ll explore how you can bring this next generation of AI to your OpenEdge applications. 

You will be introduced to practical ways to integrate agentic capabilities into your existing systems using the inmydata platform — enabling features like conversational interfaces, task automation, and intelligent data analysis.

Whether you’re modernizing legacy systems or looking to unlock new business value, this session will show how OpenEdge developers can stay ahead by embracing the power of AI — without abandoning the architecture they rely on.

What you’ll learn:

  • What agentic AI is — and why it matters for enterprise apps.
  • How to integrate AI agents with OpenEdge-based systems
  • Real-world use cases: automation, insights, and smarter workflows
  • How inmydata’s platform bridges AI and your existing data landscape
 

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from inmydata and Nick Finch to see how you can lead the next wave of innovation – right from your OpenEdge environment.

 

True or False: Any Index Will Do with Peter Judge

True or False: Any Index Will Do

Join ConsultingWerk’s next webinar with Peter Judge on Thursday 3rd July  2025 at 16:00 CET.

Most ABL Developers know that whole-index searches are generally a bad idea. But not all indexes are equal – and the index selected by the AVM doesn’t always guarantee the best performance. Especially in networked database environments, the volume of records returned can be just as critical as the execution time itself. 

>Join Peter Judge for a deep dive into:

  • How the AVM selects indexes.
  • Why the selected index might not be ideal
  • How to detect and avoid inefficient index usage
  • Practical strategies for tuning index selection in ABL applications
 

Whether you are modernizing legacy code or optimizing high-performance systems, this session will give you insights and tools to improve the performance of your OpenEdge applications.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from an OpenEdge expert and deepen your understanding of how index selection impacts query performance in real-world ABL applications.
