Acquia enhances brand management capabilities

February 20, 2024 /

Acquia announced new integrations for its digital asset management solution, Acquia DAM, that expand its brand management capabilities. These integrations — with Acquia Campaign Studio, Adobe Stock, and Google Translate reduce the complexity of maintaining a consistent brand experience across digital channels.

Acquia DAM is now integrated with Acquia Campaign Studio, the company’s marketing automation solution. The integration leverages Acquia’s instant search connector tool, so once a user is authenticated in the DAM connector within Campaign Studio, they can search, view, and select the asset of their choice within Campaign Studio’s email and landing page builders. Pictures in email and landing page builders dynamically change when updated in Acquia DAM.

An Adobe Stock integration automatically syncs a customer’s newly licensed Adobe Stock assets with Acquia DAM, bringing in essential metadata and offering smoother workflows. Creative pros can choose which types of Adobe Stock assets to monitor and sync, and the integration handles file copying and categorization in Acquia DAM. Customers can now use Google Translate to automatically translate text from selected metadata fields within Acquia DAM. The DAM automatically repopulates these fields with translated content in up to 20 languages.

Optimizely, a digital experience platform (DXP) provider, has announced that a new product integration with Writer, the enterprise-focused generative AI platform, is now live. The integration comes after the official partnership announcement in October and equips the Optimizely Content Marketing Platform (CMP) with AI capabilities that enable joint customers to use industry-specific LLMs to develop content that is relevant, compliant, and consistent with their existing brand tone and voice, and tailored to industry audiences to simplify the content marketing lifecycle.

Writer’s integration into Optimizely will leverage the Palmyra, the Writer-built family of large language models, to enhance AI-powered content generation capabilities and chat features across Optimizely applications. Palmyra LLMs are transparent and auditable, top-scoring on benchmarks like Stanford HELM, and keep customers’ data private. They are coupled with the Writer-built graph-based RAG Knowledge Graph, AI guardrails to enforce brand and compliance rules, and a flexible application layer that serves a wide range of use cases, resulting in an AI platform that meets unique enterprise needs.

Fivetran introduces dbt Cloud orchestration integration

February 1, 2024 /

Deepening its relationship with dbt Labs, Fivetran, provider of data integration, today announced its new orchestration integration with dbt Cloud, enabling enterprises to seamlessly manage data movement and transformations using the Fivetran platform. Now, with Fivetran as the hub, dbt Cloud transformations occur immediately and sequentially once data is loaded in a cloud data lake or warehouse, decreasing workflow inefficiencies and costs while ensuring businesses are powered by always-on data. 

With a fully automated data pipeline, data teams no longer need to run data integration and transformations independently. Downstream data workflows are now synchronized to automatically run upon completion of fresh data load, rather than a set schedule as had previously been the case.

The new Fivetran-dbt Cloud orchestration streamlines data practices, complexities and costs, while also ensuring companies can do more with their data. In a time where data provides a significant competitive advantage, an automated pipeline is essential. It helps companies make the most informed data-driven decisions and builds the foundation for next-generation data projects.

The new dbt Cloud integration adds to Fivetran’s existing offerings that are aimed to help organizations get from raw data to insights faster, including Fivetran’s Quickstart and pre-built data models.

January 17, 2024 /

DataStax, a company that powers generative AI (GenAI) applications with relevant, scalable data, announced the general availability of its Data API, a one-stop API for GenAI, that provides all the data and a complete stack for production GenAI and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) applications with high relevancy and low latency. Also debuting today is a completely updated developer experience for DataStax Astra DB, a vector database for building production-level AI applications. 

The new vector Data API and experience makes Apache Cassandra available to JavaScript, Python, or full-stack application developers in a more intuitive experience for AI development. It is specifically designed for ease of use, offering higher relevancy, throughput, and fast response times, by using the JVector search engine. It introduces an intuitive dashboard, efficient data loading and exploration tools, and seamless integration with AI and machine learning (ML) frameworks.

Pinecone announces Pinecone Serverless

January 16, 2024 /

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.
