Using EvaDB to build AI-enhanced apps

EvaDB is an open-source framework designed to seamlessly integrate AI functionalities such as regression, classification, image recognition, and question answering into applications by executing queries over data stored in existing SQL and vector databases. It allows developers to utilize pre-trained AI models from platforms like Hugging Face, OpenAI, and PyTorch without needing to manage interfaces or API keys. The article demonstrates a simple application of EvaDB in performing sentiment analysis on text data using TextBlob, highlighting how EvaDB extends traditional SQL with a declarative language to execute AI-enhanced queries. By enabling the integration of standard input and output types, EvaDB provides a flexible approach to incorporating a variety of AI engines into database applications, similar to other libraries like Dask, but with a stronger focus on AI in the context of SQL. The potential of EvaDB is further emphasized by its ability to streamline AI implementation in SQL databases, a functionality that is starting to appear in enterprise-grade systems like IBM's DB2.
