Ep49: Moving toward AI Tools/Agents + Local RAG app with Quarkus
This week, I simplified my Langchain4j project with improved prompt variable injection. Then hear my perspective on the role of tools vs. agents in AI workflows—looking at how structured processes differ from autonomous systems, especially in the context of Java frameworks and GraphRAG.
Get an inside scoop on how I use different AI coding tools: IntelliJ IDEA for in-flow coding, VS Code with agent mode for problem-solving, and ChatGPT for summarizing and refining content.
Lastly, hear highlights from an article on building a local RAG app with Quarkus—clear diagrams and step-by-step breakdown of ingestion vs. retrieval workflows.
