How ngrok helps Sam develop and test LLM-powered RAG applications

Adil Aijaz, CEO of Sam, discusses using ngrok to develop and manage the AI Sales Engineer and Call Intelligence platform, Sam. Sam functions as a virtual sales engineer, providing expertise during calls by capturing and processing Zoom meeting audio to detect and display customer questions in real-time using a distributed system architecture. The development process involves various interconnected services, making local development challenging. ngrok facilitates this by allowing developers to simulate production environments on their local machines, enabling them to test and iterate on components like transcription and question detection without disrupting live operations. This setup allows developers to safely test new prompts with production traffic, forwarding a percentage of questions to local endpoints and comparing results to ensure quality without affecting the live system. Overall, ngrok plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between local development and production, enhancing the ability to prototype and refine AI systems effectively.
