Use GenAI services and tools to reduce time spent on routine tasks—or eliminate coding altogether. - Choose your model. Harness the power of open source or proprietary large language models (LLMs). [Learn more about GenAI services](/content/apac/artificial-intelligence/generative-ai/index.html) ### Bring AI into your data - Simplify. Skip multiple single-purpose databases. Instead, use Autonomous AI Database with AI Vector Search and in-database ML. - Contextualize. Use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with your own data to extract far more relevant results.
