Building vector search systems with PostgreSQL and pgvector (2026 guide)How modern AI applications use retrieval pipelines with OpenAI
Understanding semantic search vs traditional keyword-based search
I build AI systems using a mix of modern tools and APIs—both free and paid—depending on the use case.
In this blog and projects, I work with:
- OpenAI (LLMs, embeddings, RAG systems)
- Google Gemini (experimental AI workflows)
- Pinecone (vector database for semantic search)
- PostgreSQL + pgvector (local vector storage)
- Python AI libraries for backend development
These tools help me build real-world AI engineering systems like RAG pipelines, semantic search engines, and chatbot applications.
