Announcing AnyQuest PyAQ

Today, December 6, 2023, we announce the availability of AnyQuest PyAQ, an open-source low-code platform for cognitive applications.

Cognitive applications improve knowledge worker productivity by integrating generative AI with enterprise solutions for customer relationship management, marketing automation, enterprise resource planning, supply chain management, and many others.

Unlike interactive GPT chatbots and copilots, cognitive applications can run entirely unattended. They do not sacrifice precision for speed and can run longer to process more data, use different types of larger AI models, or launch long-running jobs via connected enterprise applications and robotic systems.

AnyQuest PyAQ users define cognitive applications visually as flow diagrams or declaratively as statements in a low-code scripting language. The declarative nature of cognitive applications enables automatic optimization, massive parallelism, hardware acceleration, robust security, and control.

By releasing AnyQuest PyAQ as open source, we hope to stimulate innovation in the broader generative AI community. Until now, the focus of the AI community has been on building bigger and better models. But models do not deliver value. Value is delivered by applications enabled by these models, and on the application front, we have chatbots, and chatbots to create more chatbots. To see the limits, just imagine controlling a game character or piloting a plane via a chatbot.

Here are just some ideas to explore with AnyQuest PyAQ:

  • Cognitive applications
    • Knowledge management
    • Question answering
    • Hyper personalization
    • Intelligent automation
    • Idea generation and research
  • Platform extensions
    • Models: open-source, edge AI
    • Tools: connectors to CRM, ERP, supply chains, marketing automation, etc.
    • Tasks: multi-modal primitives for video, audio, and images.
    • Memory: structured data, flat files, cloud storage
  • Tools
    • No-code cognitive application designers
    • Cognitive application copilots
    • Prompt engineering and rewriting
    • Verification, validation, and security of cognitive apps
    • LLM operations
    • Performance optimization and parallelism

AnyQuest PyAQ enables rapid prototyping of a broad range of cognitive applications solving challenging business problems. It is an excellent platform for innovation tournaments and hackathons. We encourage every business and technology leader to

  • Form cross-functional teams
  • Tackle challenging problems with generative AI
  • Share achievements with the community

Gen AI in 2025: The Year of Quantity

What can we expect from Gen AI next year? For most of 2024, the narrative has been about quality. Models are measured and compared on a range of qualitative and quantitative benchmarks. In almost every dimension, the difference in performance among frontier models is now within a tenth of a

Optimizing Business Processes with Gen AI and Use Case Crowdsourcing

Gen AI is set to revolutionize business by automating numerous steps in enterprise processes. But where should one begin? We suggest establishing a robust cycle of Ideation, Prioritization, Testing, and Analysis. Here are some typical errors and best practices for the Ideation stage.

Can GPT-4 Outsmart Wall Street Stock Pickers?

I provided a large language model with last year's market outlook reports and asked it to generate aggressive growth portfolios. Next, I backtested the portfolios against historical market data. Here are the results.
