    Creating an AI Agent

    What do you like best about the product?
    IBM watsonx.ai is an easy-to-use platform for building AI and machine learning models. What I like most about it is how it brings everything together in one place — from training models to testing and deploying them. It supports both traditional machine learning and modern AI models like large language models, so you can work on a wide range of projects. You can use IBM’s models or bring your own, which gives you a lot of flexibility. The interface is clean and well-organized, so it’s easy to get started even if you’re not a technical expert. It also connects well with other IBM tools like watsonx.data and watsonx.governance, which makes managing data and keeping your AI projects compliant a lot simpler. The customer support is incredibly efficient and I feel like I can rely on it, because it is fast. My goal is to create an AI Agent with it, which uses RAG and other tools and it was very easy to understand how the tools work. Overall, I really appreciate how watsonx.ai helps streamline the whole AI development process without feeling too complex or overwhelming.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Sometimes, the platform can feel a bit slow, especially when handling large datasets or switching between tools. The user interface, although clean, can be a little overwhelming at first because there are so many options and settings to learn.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    IBM watsonx.ai helps solve a big problem many teams face: how to build, train, and manage AI models in one place. Before, this often meant using different tools for data prep, model building, testing, and deployment — which was time-consuming and complicated. With watsonx.ai, everything is connected. It saves time by letting me work on models from start to finish without jumping between platforms. It also helps with managing data securely and tracking model performance, which is really important when building reliable AI systems. Another big benefit is that it supports large language models, so I can experiment with advanced AI features like chatbots, text analysis, and summarization — all within the same environment. Plus, the platform’s integration with IBM’s governance tools helps ensure that the models are built ethically and responsibly, which is a huge plus in enterprise settings.

    - Clunky, dated UI experience;
    - Slow responsiveness and limited real-time feedback;
    - Not beginner-friendly;
    - Limited real-time collaboration.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    It's been helping me with ML projects, supporting the full lifecycle: data ingestion and preprocessing, exploratory data analysis, model training and etc...Some problems that I felt using are: as mentioned early, the steep learning curve and platform complexity and the slow performance for larger datasets.
