What if I told you that you don’t need to know how to code to use AI for automation?

Being the nerd I am started using ChatGPT quite some time ago. Starting off from GPT3.5. I was always surprised at how Good AI models were and was a power user nontheless for my daily endeavours. When GPT 4 came our I tried it extensively and knew it would be a game changer.
Why?
- The reduced hallucinations
- The quality contexts it provides (out of this world! at the time at least)
A key concept I understood was Neural Networks. The more information is provided to the models the smarter it becomes. I had a wild thought one day, what if I could provide context to a model, would it then be able to function much better for specific use cases.
Like teaching a child a new language or skill.
The closest thing that came to mind was training the model. But after doing some reading at the time I realised quite quickly that it was pretty expensive, (it was a bit of a bummer)
One day after some time, I came across this concept called vector databases on reddit, of course most of this was built on LangChain. I thought there must be another way to do this without code and faster (therefore easier to scale)......
Yes, there definately was, n8n (thanks, Devin for that amazing youtube video) It lit up the brightest lightbulb I’ve had in years.
It was also the start of one of the most interesting years of my life ..... full of amazing rabbitholes and new friends
On my next post, I will share more about the wheres, whos and whats of this amazing tool, maybe also stories of said explored rabbitholes.
+++I'll also share the interesting stuff, I and some really cool people I have had the pleasure to work with managed to build.
I hope this series manages to inspire someone out there to build something cool and/or make people's life easier.
