Today's Deep-Dive: Agentset

Episode description

The episode discusses Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and introduces Agentset as a platform designed to simplify building reliable and traceable AI agents. It addresses the common problem of AI hallucination, where language models invent facts, which is a significant barrier when agents need to access specific or internal knowledge. Agentset aims to solve this by making RAG more accessible, even for beginners, by handling complex engineering tasks like data ingestion, chunking, and retrieval. The platform supports over 22 file formats for ingestion and uses a built-in chunking strategy to prepare documents for retrieval. Key features for accuracy include hybrid search, which combines vector search with keyword search, and re-ranking to ensure the most relevant information is provided to the AI. Agentset also offers deep research capabilities for more in-depth answers and provides automatic citations, allowing users to verify the source of information. Metadata filtering allows for limiting AI responses to specific data subsets, ensuring compliance and relevance. The platform emphasizes developer experience with SDKs and APIs, and importantly, is model-agnostic, allowing users to choose their preferred AI models, vector databases, and embedding models. For integration, it offers standard SDKs and a Model Context Protocol Server. Security is a priority, with end-to-end encryption and options for EU data residency and on-premise deployment for maximum control. Agentset offers both a cloud version with a free tier for easy experimentation and an open-source option for self-hosting, providing a choice between speed to market and complete control. The core takeaway is that Agentset simplifies the complex infrastructure of RAG, enabling the creation of trustworthy AI applications by bypassing engineering headaches and focusing on reliability and traceability.
