AI Factory Learning Center
==========================

Welcome to the **AI Factory Learning Center** — your central starting
point for building with **EDB Postgres® AI** (EDB PG AI).

**EDB PG AI** enables **Sovereign AI** — using your data, in your
databases and data center, to power intelligent applications and data
products. The platform builds directly on Postgres with integrated
vector search, Pipelines, Gen AI Builder, Knowledge Bases, and Model
Serving.

Use this Learning Center to:

- Understand key concepts and architecture

- Follow step-by-step how-to guides

- Progress through structured learning paths

- Complete practical tutorials

- Explore solution patterns and real-world use cases
