Vector Database

AI Agents

A specialized database that stores data as mathematical vectors (embeddings) and enables fast similarity search. Vector databases are the storage layer behind RAG systems — they allow AI agents to quickly find the most semantically relevant documents from a large knowledge base. Popular vector databases include Pinecone, Weaviate, and Chroma.

Vibe Coding

Prompting

A programming approach coined by AI researcher Andrej Karpathy in February 2025, where a developer describes what they want to build in plain English and lets an AI generate the code — often without deeply reviewing or fully understanding the generated code. Vibe coding dramatically lowers the barrier to building software and is widely used with tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Code. The term reflects a shift from writing code to directing AI to write it.

Example: Describing 'build me a landing page with a contact form and email capture' to an AI coding tool and accepting the generated code with minimal review.

AI virtual staging tools can transform an empty room photo into a fully furnished space in minutes, significantly improving listing appeal.

Voice AI

Business AI

AI systems that understand and generate spoken language, enabling voice-based interactions with AI. Voice AI encompasses speech-to-text (transcription), text-to-speech (voice generation), and conversational voice agents. Applications include AI phone receptionists, voice cloning, podcast production, and real-time voice translation.

Example: ElevenLabs, Whisper (OpenAI), and Google's NotebookLM podcast feature are all voice AI tools.
