Other real-time analytics news in brief

NVIDIA introduced AI Blueprints for building agentic AI applications to help enterprises automate work. With the blueprints, developers can build and deploy custom AI agents. These AI agents act like “knowledge robots” that can reason, plan, and take action to quickly analyze large quantities of data and summarize and distill real-time insights from video, PDF, and other images.

CrewAI, Daily, LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Weights & Biases are among the leading providers of agentic AI orchestration and management tools that have worked with NVIDIA to build blueprints that integrate the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform. These five blueprints — comprising a new category of partner blueprints for agentic AI — provide the building blocks for developers to create the next wave of AI applications that will transform every industry.

Additionally, NVIDIA unveiled AI Blueprints to power AI Query Engines. Used in this way, AI agents form the basis of an AI query engine, where they can gather information and do work to assist human employees.
