Description

Brain4Data, a German startup, built a GenAI-powered agent named Fred that uses retrieval augmented generation (RAG) over customer documents, databases, and ERP systems, powered by Oracle Database's native AI Vector Search and OCI Generative AI Service. Within a few months of deployment, Fred handled 80% of end-user requests. Brain4Data won the European Seal of Excellence from the European Innovation Council in early 2024.

Problem

To provide specific information and context that a human employee would have, Brain4Data needed to develop a GenAI agent using RAG to access reams of a customer's internal data in any format, while keeping the agent fast, affordable, scalable, and reliable; storing customer data in a separate external vector database had added complexity and slowed performance.

…RAG system to digest and search for answers to customer or employee questions. At first, the company stored customers’ data in a separate vector database on an external server, but that added complexity and slowed performance. Brain4Data needed a better approach.

Solution

Brain4Data developed its agent, Fred, on Oracle Database, using its native AI Vector Search capabilities to store multiple types of data and vector representations together in the same database, paired with OCI Generative AI Service for retrieval augmented generation and Oracle APEX for the user interface.
