Mimicking Humans: Using AI to Build a Better Workplace Search with Tariq Rauf, Co-Founder & CEO, Qatalog
Episode 1: With the recent rise of Generative AI, many are contemplating its implications: whether it’ll disrupt jobs, daily routines, and humanity to its core. Though AI is sometimes seen as the antithesis of what it means to be human—in this episode, we learn how mimicking humans is what makes a successful AI.
Gaurav Kotak sits down with Founder and CEO of Qatalog, Tariq Rauf, in this inaugural episode of AI Unveiled. Tariq and his team have created a fascinating product using methods some might initially deem counterintuitive: vector databases. They incorporate these into the foundation of their core product: leveraging AI and LLMs to dive into unstructured data.
In this episode, you’ll hear what the necessary tech stack is for any AI-first company, how to implement advanced search through vast amounts of data, and how building your AI to mimic human intelligence is the secret ingredient to success.
