Just like everyone else. We also made a list of the top three most read AI stories of the year. Alright, what did we learn? TLDR AI is a wild ride and it's only just the beginning. From AI generating content for us to having AI agents autonomously take action, Trust me when I say agents will dominate 2025 Number one, the first story is about the three hottest letters in AI not LLM, not AGI, RAG, retrieval, augmented generation, or simply put, RAG. What is retrieval augmented generation? It's an AI technique that uses vector databases to store structured and unstructured Data. Put simply, RAG helps you every bit of your company's data, from PDFs to social media posts, to get accurate and relevant AI outputs so your company can move with confidence. Number two 11 human AI influencers you should know. Feels like everyone's an AI influencer these days, but who's actually worth following? These influencers will instantly uplevel your social feeds with people from academia and technology, writers following the AI revolution and those shaping ethics and regulation.

In 2025, we're seeing a whole new software paradigm with agents bridging the gap between reasoning capabilities of LLMs and the demands of business use cases. Now software is no longer built as full fledged applications, but instead as a collection of granular building blocks that can be customized and orchestrated to have specific capabilities and actions. 2024 is behind us, and 2025 is already shaping up to be the year of agents breakthroughs and possibilities we haven't even imagined yet.
