Agentic Tool Calling Explained: How AI Agents Actually Think

Have you been into a cohort where we’re deep into a session on AI agents, someone has been nodding along for an hour, and then they raise their hand and ask: “Wait. So the AI isn’t actually running these queries?” No. It absolutely isn’t. That realization changes how people think about everything they’re building. And yet, … Read more

Google’s Gemini File Search API: The RAG Revolution You Need to Know About

November 13, 2025November 10, 2025 by Kumar Gauraw

Before Google’s launch of Gemini File Search API, building a RAG based application has been a bit of a puzzle for some while hard nut to crack for many others. If you are like me, you know that dealing with RAG has been one of those things that you realize you’ve been doing something the hard way for way too long and yet you couldn’t do anything about it, right?

Last week I discovered Google’s new Gemini File Search API and it was such a relief to learn about it knowing that for months, I’d been watching developers struggle with building RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems. The process has been complicated, expensive, and honestly, a bit of a nightmare.

Vector databases to set up. Chunking strategies to figure out. Embedding pipelines to maintain. Infrastructure costs piling up. And that’s before you even get to the actual AI part.

You know that feeling when you’re drowning in research documents, PDFs, and YouTube videos, trying to make sense of it all? I’ve been there. Multiple browser tabs open, scattered notes everywhere, trying to remember what I read three hours ago. It’s exhausting.

That’s exactly why I got excited about Google’s Notebook LM. And just this month, in November 2025, it just became even more powerful. This is a tool I have been toying with for sometime. But this release has made all the difference!

How I Migrated AWS Server and WordPress Sites from Plesk to CyberPanel — With AI as My Server Admin

Those who know my hosting business, know that I have been hosting several websites (WordPress and others) on AWS Server for many years and one my favorite ways to manage Wordpress websites on my AWS servers has been using Plesk, for one reason, a comprehensive and easy to use GUI based control panel solution.

But as it occurred to me that the cost of hosting and yearly pricing of Plesk itself has been going up over the years, I needed to find a better way to cost-effectively manage my websites.

Now, I am not a Unix/Linux expert and have not managed servers. And hiring server admins will simply cost me way more than Plesk (especially since they have good support to deal with any server issues that need human intervention). So, I decided to check with Cloude.ai about my confusion and just explore if this was an idea worth exploring.

What Is Prompt Injection and What To Do About It

November 7, 2025October 27, 2025 by Kumar Gauraw

As you may have realised already, Artificial intelligence has become our digital assistant, our creative partner, and increasingly, our business collaborator. We ask AI to summarize documents, write emails, analyze data, and even make recommendations that influence important decisions.

But there’s a fundamental security vulnerability lurking in how these AI systems work—one that’s been ranked as the number one risk for AI applications by the Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) in 2025. I was researching on this topic and decided to share my findings in this post.

So, this vulnerability is known as prompt injection, and understanding it isn’t just for security professionals anymore. If you use AI tools in your work or personal life, you need to know how attackers can manipulate these systems to do things they were never intended to do.
