Ask ET - Red Hat Emerging Technologies AI Assistant

Project Overview

Ask ET is an intelligent AI assistant that provides comprehensive information about Red Hat's emerging technologies, including blogs, projects, and initiatives. The system uses advanced RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) technology to deliver accurate, relevant responses with blog summaries, links, and GitHub project information.
