We're excited to introduce Rag, an #Elixir library designed to orchestrate Retrieval-Augmented Generation (#RAG) workflows with flexibility.
Choose between local models with Nx or external APIs via Req—mix and match as needed! Build powerful AI systems, seamlessly integrating LLMs, embedding and ML models.

🚀 Releasing a browser extension shouldn’t be a hassle! For Tickety-Tick, we built a semi-automated pipeline—striking the right balance between automation and control.

What mattered to us?
✅ Automation with oversight
🔒 Security considerations
⚡ A simple, pragmatic solution

Not everything needs full automation—just the right amount!

Thanks for braving the snowy weather to join the #ElixirMeetupBerlin last Thursday! The talks that evening delved into some exciting topics—how Wasmex is infusing WebAssembly magic into #Elixir and exploring ways to create interactive, secure documentation with a #RAG system.

Tired of inconsistent Git branches and messy commit messages? We were too! 🤔

That's why we created Tickety-Tick—a browser extension that automatically generates structured branch names and commit messages from your ticketing system. 💡

Stay organized, keep your codebase clean, and boost productivity! 🚀

#Elixir #Meetup #WebDevelopment

After many years, we are super excited to tell you that we have entirely redesigned and rebuilt our brand and our website!

Go take a look 👀 - https://bitcrowd.net

It was a long project involving design, frontend and backend teams. We love the result! 💖 Our colourful new design system really expresses who we are and was an interesting challenge for our frontend team to show off what they can do.

This is our second blog post in a series on using a RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) information system for your team’s codebase. Find out how the LLM can read and understand Elixir code and start a conversation about your code with the LLM.

Read the blog here:
https://bitcrowd.dev/a-rag-for-elixir/

This is the first in a series of blog posts exploring how dev teams can leverage local LLMs for code. Use off the shelf components to build a RAG for your team’s codebase.

If LLMs & RAGs are all new to you, this blog post is for you!

Today is the anniversary of the liberation from the NS regime!

In 1933 some people thought that the Nazis might soften up in government responsibility. It was a mistake that took many sacrifices and much suffering to correct.
Today, our right to live, love and think how we want to is at risk again. Let's make sure the Nazis lose again - Diversity is strength, and together we party!

Looking for reliable and robust backend support?
Look no further than @bitcrowd!
We have availability coming up in June so reach out to us now to see how we can work together.
