You know, Postgres was right there, and, and it had that ex- that capability through the pgvector extension.

Charles FeddersenGUEST
Postgres in and of itself, you know, would not, maybe not be classified like the best AI database, and there have been various other, you know, databases that have come onto the scene, you know, very focused on AI.

Charles FeddersenGUEST
I think it's more because the platform in itself is so adaptable, right? The extensions within Postgres really turn it into a, a multimodal, uh, platform.

So this is where AI pipelines in Horizon DB extend AI model management and AI functions even further.

Charles FeddersenGUEST
Today, most generative AI apps rebuild the same steps, chunking, creating embeddings, backfilling data, often in fragile external pipelines.

Charles FeddersenGUEST
So you can see here that I've created a pipeline using the create pipeline function in the AI extension.

Charles FeddersenGUEST
It will then create embeddings for those chunks using the embedding model that the AI model management enabled for us, and these are ultimately stored in a table.
