RAG, semantic search, copilots, and agentic workflows moving from prototype to production.
About Pras Vakati
I help commerce & healthcare teams ship agentic AI that reaches production — not slideware.
I'm Pras Vakati. I run pvakati-tech.ai as a hands-on lab for agentic AI, RAG, semantic search, and commerce architecture — turning AI ideas into reference architectures, working demos, and guardrails your team can actually ship.
Recent focus areas include Agentic AI in E-Commerce, healthcare drug commerce use cases, MCP server connectivity, architecture flow diagrams, and AI search patterns built for teams that need practical execution, not abstract hype.
