Same operator tools.

So for the moment, there is the regular Postgres plus some extensions.

Still with AI, usually when an application uses AI, it has to call another service to create the embeddings, for example.

So there is, again, an extension in HorizonDB that adds the direct call to the LLM models.

So it's Azure AI.

Big advantage there is that you do everything from the SQL query.

You have new functions to call generative AI just to create the embeddings or use any function from the models.

So you have the models in Azure and you just call them from there.

So that's one extension that is there.

Something that we see also in

modern usage of databases.

Now, a lot of workflows and also still in AI, you need to, when data is updated, you need to update the embeddings.

And again, this is something you don't want to put in the application because it's not really business logic.

It's just maintaining the data structures.

So there is also an extension there, PGE Durable, that helps to create

workflows with pipelines and have them durable, means that if it fails, it will start where it has failed and all that.

And this extension was made to integrate those modern applications in Horizon DB, but this extension, Microsoft has given it to open source, so you can use it on any Postgres basically, PG durable.

Yeah.
