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.

Brain4Data needed to use retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to access those reams of a customer’s internal data that can be in any format to generate trustworthy answers and actions, while keeping Fred fast, affordable, scalable, and reliable. Brain4Data’s approach was to abandon the constraints of structured data whereve…
…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.
…capabilities of Oracle Database simplified the semantic search portion of RAG. By storing multiple types of data and vector representations together in the same Oracle Database, Brain4Data could simplify both operations and development by managing fewer databases, having fewer data copies, and moving data less. For example, a Fred customer’s original documents stored in Oracle Database cou…
