Intro

Hey everyone! I am SUPER EXCITED to publish the 111th Weaviate Podcast with Aravind Kesiraju from Morningstar! Aravind is a Principal Software Engineer who has lead the development behind the Morningstar Intelligence Engine! There are so many interesting aspects to this, and if you are building Agentic systems that would benefit from a high-quality financial retrieval API, you should check this out right now! The podcast dives into all sorts of ingredients that went into building this system: from custom RAG data pipelines with content management system integrations and embedding task queues, to exploring new chunking strategies, tool marketplaces, ReAct Agents, Text-to-SQL, and all sorts of other things!
