Justin van Grootveld, Senior Software Engineer, explains: 

“My favourite AI tool is Weaviate, an Open-Source Vector Database that allows you to search for relevance using vectors (embeddings through LLM). 

This kind of Vector Database searches for relevant results by comparing vectors. The big advantage of Weaviate is that it has modules that take the work of creating vectors out of your hands. That's not the case with other Vector Databases, like Pinecone. 

Weaviate lets you turn on modules to use GPT, Huggingface, or a local model, for instance. This way, you can index items (e.g. FAQs) and literally ask it to generate the three most relevant FAQs based on a text. Since we have AiO - a proprietary GPT API using Azure - I wrote a module for that as well." 

Mark Verheij, Front-End Developer, explains: 

“My favourite AI tool is Github Copilot, because it really does make development a lot faster. 

As a developer, you can integrate Github Copilot into your code editor. That way, while programming, you get real-time suggestions when you start typing. As a result, you have to write a lot less code yourself and you will often quickly get the solutions you need. 

The great thing about this tool is that it takes into account the code you wrote earlier in your project. In other words, Copilot can make smart additions based on your previous work. But be careful, because not all suggestions are equally useful, so you still have to pay attention.”
