VirtualBrain: Best RAG to unleash the real power of AI - Guillaume Marquis | Vector Space Talks

Guillaume Marquis, the CTO and Co-Founder of VirtualBrain, discusses the innovative use of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) in the company’s AI-powered assistant designed for knowledge workers. VirtualBrain focuses on integrating AI into business processes to enhance productivity by using a vector database like Qdrant for fast, scalable document retrieval, enabling tasks such as drafting commercial proposals with historical data. The system emphasizes minimizing AI hallucinations by confining the AI within a knowledge context and employing a scoring system to ensure accurate and relevant document retrieval. Marquis highlights the importance of open-source tools for security and flexibility, while also acknowledging the challenges of scalability and user feedback in AI systems. He notes that VirtualBrain prioritizes delivering precise, relevant information and prefers to provide no answer rather than a misleading one, ensuring users receive reliable assistance in complex tasks.
