Part 1 The Good, The Bad, and The GenAI Today, generative AI (or “gen AI” for short) is all the rage. Most often we see this used for text generation – be it chat bots, text summarisers or, well, spam bots.

I often come across IoT systems where all the focus is on ensuring that the infrastructure and any data transmitted mitigates the risk of external or unwanted penetration. However, protection against physical access to connected devices, such as smart TVs, remote medical devices, security and home automation devices and smart appliances, is often overlooked. Cybersecurity is already one of the…

We’ve used AWS IoT Core so many times on an embedded Linux device, we created an open source service to reduce implementation effort . Dubbed chariotd and written in NodeJS, its a very useful and a lean implementation that provides access to key AWS IoT Core features – Device Shadow handling, MQTT message publishing and Fleet Provisioning.
We often get brought on board to help productise ‘IoT’ (that’s Internet of Things, if you have somehow managed to escape the acronym) devices, and depending on the domain it’s often a Linux based device. Something we commonly see is that developers who are entering the embedded Linux space from the server or desktop direction are carrying over patterns from there out of habit.

And on top of the environmental disaster and the health crisis, societal tensions have come to the fore through the Black Lives Matter movement. The commentators are quick to rightfully remind us that none of these events are isolated, but rather are symptomatic of what our world has become. A world we have created.
This post continues the journey as we try to answer these questions: Is there some way to “pass through” the conversation from Connect to another NLU solution like Rasa? And Is there really no way to automate deployments of our flow logic?
