At scale, RAG is very difficult if you have ever tried to build a stack.
Qlik Answers has built a complete experience that has indexing, vector database, model serving, user interface (embeddable) and monitoring.

This structure reminds me a lot of what Jeff Bezos mandated back at Amazon years ago where all interactions between divisions must be over APIs and service contracts.
Each division provides a set of services others can consume if they need. #QlikConnect
— Ben Young (@benyoungnz) June 4, 2024
This is a new modern organisational structure where we break down the traditional IT / Business department silos by having data products and owners per division
Divisions creat “Data Products”#QlikConnect pic.twitter.com/YH9NfjiSdX

Qlik has built a Trust Score for AI and it is calculated on the following dimensions:
Diverse (siloed data creates bias results)
Secure (data will have PII, financial etc, make sure machines are not leaking data. Mapping data and masking, access management and role mapping)…

The generation of SQL from plain English that they are showing at #QlikConnect is a pretty simple solution so that business people, not IT people, can build data transformations.

Qlik's AI messaging and products are more data focused than a lot of other messaging I've seen, and it's refreshing. #QlikConnect #TFDX

Nina Schick is on stage at #QlikConnect with bold statements! She said geopolitics demand sovereign AI, and that trust, transparency, authentication, and ethics when it comes to data-driven AI. Tomorrow's keynote will feature the @Qlik AI Council deep dive into these topics. pic.twitter.com/G5BJmhJ5bV

Build or buy AI models. IDC it's construct, or consume.
Fastest way to get access to GenAI is to lean on application vendors
Fine tuning in some circumstances (higher cost, complexity)
And in even more bespoke situations, train (high cost)#QlikConnect— Ben Young (@benyoungnz) June 4, 2024
