Writer RAG tool: build production-ready RAG apps in minutes

RAG in just a few lines of code? We’ve launched a predefined RAG tool on our developer platform, making it easy to bring your data into a Knowledge Graph and interact with it with AI. With a single API call, writer LLMs will intelligently call the RAG tool to chat with your data.

Integrated into Writer’s full-stack platform, it eliminates the need for complex vendor RAG setups, making it quick to build scalable, highly accurate AI workflows just by passing a graph ID of your data as a parameter to your RAG tool.

Nvidia
🤖 Nvidia launches blueprints to help jump-start AI projects

Nvidia has unveiled a new approach to building AI agents called "blueprints". These essentially pre-built templates give developers everything they need to create autonomous AI systems without starting from scratch. These blueprints come packaged as “launchables,” meaning they can be deployed instantly and out of the box.

Insights for you:

• Nvidia has introduced "Blueprints", pre-built instructions that include all the necessary components and configurations for developing AI agents capable of planning and executing complex tasks independently.

• Blueprints have created applications such as automated code documentation, voice AI agents, structured reporting, research assistance, and virtual AI assistants.

• Nvidia has added two blueprints of its own: one that turns PDFs into podcasts and another for video analysis.

😯 Study finds Companies are prioritizing AI training over job cuts

A new study by WEF reveals an interesting tension: while many companies see AI replacing some jobs, they're betting bigger on retraining than layoffs. In the "Future of Jobs Report 2025" report, they surveyed 1,000 companies worldwide.

Insights for you:

• The latest World Economic Forum study shows that 41% of surveyed companies worldwide plan to reduce jobs where AI can replace human labor, while 77% are committed to training employees to work with AI.

• The WEF forecasts that by 2030, new technologies will create 170 million new jobs, but 92 million existing jobs will be lost, resulting in a net employment growth of 78 million jobs.

• They also estimate that 59% of the global workforce will need additional training by 2030 to keep pace with changing job requirements.
