Building an all-purpose AI search engine for your business: Will it end up being a horrible Frankenstein or a perfectly running Swiss knife? | Duarte Carmo

  • Summary

  • Do you want to build the ultimate search engine that works perfectly for your business?

    A multimodal system processes all types of information like images, videos, audio, and text. It can end up either as a Frankenstein or a Swiss knife depending on how clunky or how smoothly these models communicate with one another.

    In this episode of the AI and Digital Transformation Podcast by G.M.S.C. Consulting, we had a chat with Duarte Carmo about building a customized multimodal search engine. We learned about his experience on building a multimodal search engine for a startup, and things you need to consider when building an AI product that does not rely heavily on big tech’s costly services.

    If you like tinkering and using non-conventional methods to build personalized AI products like a multimodal search engine, this is the episode for you.
