My AI research projects
Hi! I'm Val, a passionate AI enthusiast. My research focuses on app development using AI and natural language, prompt engineering, LLM experimentation, and workflow automation with AI agents.

Configuring AI Agents: A Business-Centric Approach (Tech)
AI agents promise to streamline workflows, reduce costs, and open new frontiers of innovation. However, successful implementation requires careful alignment with existing business structures. This article explores a business-centric approach to configuring AI agents — treating them like employees with unique skills, assigning them clear responsibilities, and gradually integrating them into familiar workflows. We examine how to start small, manage risks, and scale over time as agents learn, adapt...

Can Small LLMs Working Together Challenge Top-Tier AI Models?
Is it still worth paying for top-tier AI models, or could open-source, locally hosted models now stand as serious contenders? Although metrics suggest the open-source models haven’t quite caught up, what if they could achieve competitive performance when working together as a team?To explore this, I conducted an experiment combining multiple small open-source models to see if their collective intelligence could rival a high-end, paid solution. The results reveal interesting insights into the pot...

Developing a Terminator Vision App through Conversational AI
As AI continues to advance, its role in software development is getting more exciting by the day. In this case study, I set out to build an app from scratch that mimics the iconic red-tinted Terminator vision from the movies, using only verbal communication with the AI — and I aimed to do it all within an hour. It was a fun experience with some interesting results that I’m excited to share. Let’s explore the process and the potential it demonstrates.The purpose of this exercise was to explore th...

RAG-powered AI workflow provides task guidance based on company guidelines
This workflow, powered by AI agents with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), enables an AI assistant that utilizes a database of company guidelines to provide recommendations and rules for the user to follow in order to complete a specified task.

Web research powered by AI agents
This video showcases how AI agents can be configured to automate web research and generate reports.

How AI Agents Are Revolutionizing the Way We Work
It’s becoming increasingly evident that AI Agents represent the next significant advancement in artificial intelligence. This transformative technology has the potential to revolutionize our work processes and daily routines. By combining two pivotal capabilities, AI Agents enable models to interact seamlessly with the physical world and operate autonomously, unlocking unprecedented possibilities.AI agents represent a paradigm shift from basic hardcoded or LLM-based automation. By combining deci...
