AI Factory
==========

**EDB Postgres® AI** provides a scalable, modular platform to build and
operationalize AI-powered applications and intelligent data products —
starting from **your data**, in **your databases**, running in **your
data center or cloud environments**. **EDB PG AI is designed for Hybrid
Manager™ first.** Most capabilities are delivered and managed inside
`Hybrid Manager’s AI Factory <https://www.enterprisedb.com/docs/edb-postgres-ai/latest/hybrid-manager/ai-factory/>`_  , where you get a unified control plane, governance, and
observability. You can also run selected components outside Hybrid
Manager — notably Postgres extensions and AI DB (AIDB) — when supported
by licensing.

At its core, EDB Postgres® AI (EDB PG AI) is designed to enable
**Sovereign AI**: allowing you to build intelligence on top of your
trusted Postgres data, governed within your enterprise boundaries. Your
models, your pipelines, your vector indexes — all managed and controlled
by you.

With EDB PG AI, you can:

- Build and run `**Gen AI agents** <https://www.enterprisedb.com/docs/edb-postgres-ai/1.3/ai-factory/gen-ai>`_  and conversational experiences powered by
  your enterprise knowledge and sovereign Postgres data in :ref:`**Hybrid Manager** </edb-postgres-ai/latest/hybrid-manager/ai-factory/>` 

- Perform :ref:`**vector search** </edb-postgres-ai/1.3/ai-factory/vector-engine>`  and **retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)**
  over structured and unstructured sources

- Create :ref:`**document intelligence pipelines** </edb-postgres-ai/1.3/ai-factory/pipeline>`  that ingest, process, and classify data from
  diverse sources

- Deploy scalable :ref:`Model Serving Reference Manual <Model Serving Reference Manual>`  , using GPU acceleration and enterprise
  observability

- Extend Postgres with AI-driven query patterns and :ref:`**vector-native capabilities** </edb-postgres-ai/1.3/ai-factory/vector-engine>` 

- Seamlessly combine AI and analytics across Postgres, EDB Lakehouse,
  and other EDB-integrated platforms
