Today, Nvidia has unveiled its latest innovation: NIM Agent Blueprints. This new catalog of AI workflows and software resources is specifically designed to enhance the speed and efficiency of developing and deploying generative AI-powered agents and applications.

These blueprints are available for free download and cover a variety of standard use cases, including:

• Customer service avatars
• Drug discovery
• Data extraction from documents

The NIM Agent Blueprints allow developers to utilize their own datasets, helping them get started quickly and deploy agents that cater specifically to their business needs. Nvidia has also committed to expanding this resource with additional applications in the near future.

This initiative comes at a time when many enterprises remain optimistic about the potential of generative AI to enhance productivity and efficiency, ultimately saving both time and money. Nvidia is collaborating with various technology solutions providers and global system integrators to facilitate easy access and deployment of these blueprints.

According to a report by McKinsey, leveraging generative AI within enterprises could generate an annual value ranging from $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion across over 60 different use cases.

Understanding the Benefits of NIM Agent Blueprints

While businesses have been implementing generative AI for activities such as content creation and summarization for some time, many are now eager to explore more advanced applications. This includes using AI agents that are powered by proprietary data. These custom agents are seen as the second wave of generative AI, presenting significant growth opportunities. However, the process of building and deploying these agents can be intricate and time-consuming, posing challenges for many organizations.

As a result, many companies continue to face hurdles that lead to project delays and increased costs.

With the introduction of the NIM Agent Blueprints, Nvidia provides teams with comprehensive resources to streamline these workflows. Key features include:

• Sample applications created with Nvidia NIM, NeMo, and partner microservices.
• Reference code and customization documentation.
• A Helm chart that integrates YAML files and templates to outline the necessary configurations for deployment.

By utilizing the pre-trained AI workflows included in the blueprints, developers can effectively accelerate the complex development process. They can deploy their agent-based applications across advanced data centers and cloud environments. By modifying the blueprints with their proprietary data, developers can build workflows that incorporate both information retrieval and agent functionalities capable of executing intricate tasks.

Moreover, as users engage with these applications, the blueprints can be continuously enhanced, fostering a learning cycle that contributes to improved performance over time.

Current Offerings and Future Developments of NIM Agent Blueprints

Nvidia currently provides three primary blueprints for enterprises, which are:

• Digital Human for Customer Service: This blueprint empowers organizations to create 3D avatar-based customer service agents utilizing Nvidia’s ACE, Omniverse RTX, Audio2Face, and Llama 3.1 NIM microservices.
• Generative Virtual Screening for Drug Discovery: This blueprint accelerates the drug discovery process by leveraging advanced generative AI techniques.
• Multimodal PDF Data Extraction: Designed specifically for enterprise RAG, this blueprint aids in efficient data extraction from PDF documents.

According to Justin Boitano, who leads Nvidia’s enterprise data center business, more NIM Agent Blueprints are currently under development. These will focus on creating generative AI applications across various sectors, including:

• Customer service
• Content generation
• Software engineering
• Retail shopping advisors
• Research and Development (R&D)

Nvidia is committed to releasing new blueprints each month, steadily expanding the catalog of resources available for enterprise AI development.

To simplify access and deployment of these blueprints, Nvidia has formed partnerships with several technology solution providers, including Deloitte, Accenture, SoftServe, and World Wide Technology (WWT). These partners will incorporate the blueprints into their respective offerings, ensuring that enterprise customers can easily access these resources.

Julie Sweet, chair and CEO of Accenture, noted, “By integrating NVIDIA’s catalog of workflows into Accenture’s AI Refinery, we can help our clients develop custom AI systems rapidly, enabling them to reimagine their business processes and enhance customer service to drive stronger business outcomes and create new value.”

For organizations looking to utilize the blueprints independently, Nvidia offers full-stack accelerated infrastructure support through its global partners. This assistance includes Nvidia-certified systems from companies like Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Lenovo, as well as Nvidia-accelerated cloud instances from major providers such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
