Building Gen AI with MongoDB & AI Partners | October 2024

It's no surprise that AI is a topic of seemingly every professional conversation and meeting nowadays-my friends joke that 11 out of 10 words that come out of my mouth are "gen AI." But an important question remains: do organizations truly know how to harness AI, or do they simply feel pressured to join the crowd? Are they driven by FOMO more than anything else?

One thing is for sure: adopting generative AI still presents a huge learning curve. Which is why we've been working to provide the right tools for companies to build innovative gen AI apps with, and why we offer organizations a variety of AI knowledge and guidance, regardless of where they are with gen AI.

We're fortunate to work with our industry-leading partners to help educate and shape this nascent market. Working so closely with them on product launches, integrations, and solving real-world challenges allows us to bring diverse perspectives and a better understanding of AI to our customers, giving them the technology and confidence to move forward even before engaging with tough use cases and specific technical problems (something that the MongoDB AI Applications Program can definitely help with).

One of our main educational initiatives has been our webinar series with our top-tier MAAP partners. We've constantly launched video content to deepen understanding of topics essential to gen AI for enterprises answering broader questions such as "how can my company generate AI-driven outcomes" and "how can I modernize my workload," to specific, tangible topics such as "how to build a chatbot that knows my business." Each session is designed to move beyond the basics, sharing insights from experts in AI, and addressing our customers' burning questions and challenges that matter most to them.

Welcoming new AI and tech partners

In October, we also welcomed four new AI and tech partners that offer product integrations with MongoDB. Read on to learn more about each great new partner!

Astronomer

Astronomer empowers data teams to bring mission-critical software, analytics, and AI to life and is the company behind Astro, the industry-leading data orchestration and observability platform powered by Apache Airflow.

"Astronomer's partnership with MongoDB is redefining RAG workflows for GenAI workloads. By integrating Astronomer's managed Apache Airflow platform with MongoDB Atlas' powerful vector database capabilities, we enable organizations to orchestrate complex data pipelines that fuel advanced AI and machine learning applications", said Julian LaNeve, CTO at Astronomer. "This collaboration empowers data teams to manage real-time, high-dimensional data with ease, accelerating the journey from raw data to actionable insights and transforming how businesses harness the power of generative AI."

CloudZero

CloudZero is a cloud cost optimization platform that automates the collection, allocation, and analysis of cloud costs to identify savings opportunities and improve cloud efficiency rates.

"Database spending is one of the shared costs that can make it tricky for organizations to reach 100% cost allocation. CloudZero eliminates that problem," said Anand Sundaram, Senior Vice President of Product at CloudZero. "Our industry-leading allocation engine can organize MongoDB spend in a matter of hours, tracing it precisely to the products, features, customers, and/or teams responsible for it. This way, companies get a clear view of what's driving their costs, who's accountable, and how to optimize to maximize their cloud efficiency."

ObjectBox

ObjectBox is an on-device vector database for mobile, IoT, and embedded devices that enables storing, syncing, and querying data locally online and offline.

"We're thrilled to partner with MongoDB to give developers an edge," celebrated Vivien Dollinger, CEO and co-founder of ObjectBox. "By combining MongoDB's cloud and scalability with ObjectBox's high-performance on-device database and data sync, we empower developers to build fast, data-rich applications that feel right at home across devices and environments. Offline, online, edge, cloud, whenever, wherever... We're here to enable your data with speed and reliability."

Rasa

Rasa is a flexible framework for building conversational AI platforms that lets companies develop scalable generative AI assistants that hit the market faster.

"Rasa is excited to partner with MongoDB to empower companies in building conversational AI experiences. Together, we're helping create generative AI assistants that save costs, speed up development, and maintain full brand control and security," said Melissa Gordon, CEO of Rasa. "With MongoDB, deploying production-ready generative AI assistants is seamless, and we're eager to continue accelerating our customers' journey toward trusted conversational AI solutions."

But wait, there's more!

Whether you're starting out or scaling up, MongoDB and our partners are here with the resources, expertise, and trusted guidance to help you succeed in your genAI strategy! And if you have any suggestions for a good webinar topic, don't hesitate to reach out.
