About this episode
The episode discusses the evolution of Quiet Links into a production-ready AI tool and the integration of a RAG pipeline into a Python application.
Four years after its original MVP, we revisit Quiet Links, exploring how it evolved into a production-ready AI-powered research tool. Bob is joined by Tim Gallati and Juanjo to unpack how they integrated a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline into an existing Python application, without rewriting everything from scratch. This episode is a reminder that impactful AI projects don’t require massive teams or cutting-edge complexity - just solid design, curiosity, and a willingness to learn!
