The next step of understanding how to build a proper agentic system is to explore how an agent can be extended with tools. Tools are, in my view, the most powerful extension of an LLM as it logically allows it to interact with the world: get additional context, take action. See my older blog post… Continue reading Exploring Agentic AI: MCP with BeeAI
Exploring Agentic AI: Agent Composition with BeeAI
In this blog post, we’re going to explore a new framework from IBM named BeeAI, which is set to solve a very important problem for me: agent composition. I’ve been using relatively simple agents for a while now. They’re incredibly handy for repetitive tasks, coding assistance, marketing, or testing. Sometimes it feels like using a… Continue reading Exploring Agentic AI: Agent Composition with BeeAI
Exploring Agentic AI: hello world with Semantic Kernel
In my last post we explored how we can build a very simple agentic application using CrewAI. Personally, I like to build these hello world applications to understand better how the frameworks function. In this post we will go through the same procedure, but this time we are going to use Java and Microsoft’s Semantic… Continue reading Exploring Agentic AI: hello world with Semantic Kernel
Exploring Agentic AI: hello world
Recently, I found myself pondering how best to demystify agentic systems and demonstrate their potential. The first challenge? Choosing the right programming language. As someone who has worked extensively with Java, it was tempting to use it here. However, Python’s rich ecosystem of AI frameworks made it the better choice for this exercise. For this… Continue reading Exploring Agentic AI: hello world
Exploring Agentic AI: From Assistants to Action Takers

What started with conversational assistants like ChatGPT has now grown into something far more capable and transformative. But before diving into the details, let’s break it down. What is an Agent? At its core,… Continue reading Exploring Agentic AI: From Assistants to Action Takers
Fine-Tuning Large Language Models with LoRA: A Practical Guide
Large language models (LLMs) are very popular these days. Most likely you have used tools such as ChatGPT or Claude. They are great, for many different tasks. But what they are not good at is working with your own, private data. Wouldn’t it be great if you could chat with a large language model about… Continue reading Fine-Tuning Large Language Models with LoRA: A Practical Guide

It has been a while since we touched our micro business, https://www.usmalbilder.ch. What started as a simple family project has helped me a lot in better understanding the latest AI technology and was a great motivator to try out ideas. Initially, we have been using simple ChatGPT to help us with coding and generating text… Continue reading The Future is Here: Exploring the Possibilities of Doing Business with AI (Part 19) – Automate new Content
AI assisted coding with Claude 3.5 Sonnet
Since May 2024 Claude from Anthropic is available in Europe. I’m not sure how well known this is, in any case I want to invite you to give Claude a spin, specifically as the latest model is said to be superior in some tasks (such as coding) compared to GPT-4 according to some articles I… Continue reading AI assisted coding with Claude 3.5 Sonnet
Running Selenium on a Docker Development Container
I spent quite some time getting Selenium working on my development container. At the end, the solution was quite simple and I thought it would be a good idea to share it. I have tried to get this running by installing all the required software on my development container directly, but nothing really seemed to… Continue reading Running Selenium on a Docker Development Container
The Future is Here: Exploring the Possibilities of Doing Business with AI (Part 18) – Stable Diffusion and Ads
Ads Discovering my first ad on my website brought an unexpected sense of joy. Probably because it’s our own site, and these ads are here to help cover hosting costs. I’ve lost count of how many attempts I made to activate ads on www.usmalbilder.ch, but the latest one finally hit the mark. The only tweak… Continue reading The Future is Here: Exploring the Possibilities of Doing Business with AI (Part 18) – Stable Diffusion and Ads
