Pega introduces Pega GenAI Knowledge Buddy

Pegasystems Inc., announced Pega GenAI Knowledge Buddy, a generative AI assistant to enable customers and employees to get specific answers synthesized by generative AI from content scattered across knowledge bases.

With Knowledge Buddy, customers and employees can ask questions through conversational interfaces and get specific, accurate, audited, and concise responses – with transparent attribution to source content. Users can also ask Knowledge Buddy to generate new content, such as emails or documents, based on their existing libraries. Additionally, security features give organizations control over user access rights as well as transparency to understand how and from where the technology pulls information. Content authors will be able to add, update, or delete knowledge, with all actions managed and audited by Pega’s workflow automation. 

Organizations will be able to configure unique Buddies for different use cases – such as answering marketing, operations, sales, or service questions – and quickly integrate them into any internal system or digital channel.

Pega Knowledge Buddy also connects to knowledge libraries within Pega Knowledge Management, which allows organizations to build, manage, and optimize content by assisting content authors and managers during the curation process and enables content versioning and lifecycle management.

Pinecone announces Pinecone Serverless

Vector database company Pinecone announced Pinecone Serverless, with a unique architecture and a serverless experience, to deliver cost reductions and eliminate infrastructure hassles, allowing companies to bring better GenAI applications to market faster. Companies can improve the quality of their GenAI applications and have a choice of LLMs just by making more data (or “knowledge”) available to the LLM. Pinecone Serverless includes:

  • Separation of reads, writes, and storage reduces costs for all types and sizes of workloads.
  • Architecture with vector clustering on top of blob storage provides low-latency, fresh vector search over practically unlimited data sizes at a low cost.
  • Indexing and retrieval algorithms built from scratch to enable fast and memory-efficient vector search from blob storage without sacrificing retrieval quality.
  • Multi-tenant compute layer provides efficient retrieval for thousands of users, on demand. This enables a serverless experience in which developers don’t need to provision, manage, or think about infrastructure, as well as usage-based billing that lets companies pay only for what they use.

Pinecone Serverless is launching with integrations to Anthropic, Anyscale, Cohere, Confluent, Langchain, Pulumi, and Vercel. Pinecone Serverless is available in public preview today in AWS cloud regions, and will be available thereafter on Azure and GCP.
