Docker, Inc. has announced At DockerCon 2023, with partners Neo4j, LangChain, and Ollama, that they launched a new framework aimed at simplifying the process of building applications infused with artificial intelligence (AI) using containers.

The framework, called Docker AI, provides developers with automated guidance and context-specific recommendations to help them define and troubleshoot all aspects of AI application development. Additionally, Docker has partnered with Neo4j, LangChain, and Ollama to create a GenAI Stack, which includes pre-configured Large Language Models (LLMs) and tools to streamline AI/ML integration, making it more accessible to developers.

With these initiatives, Docker aims to make AI application development a team sport, involving data scientists, data engineers, software engineers, and traditional developers.
