People Analyzer

EOS® tool scoring core values and role fit—now augmented with AI-driven sentiment analysis.

Predictive Analytics

Using historical data + models to forecast demand, churn, downtime.

Prompt Engineering

Crafting inputs (prompts) to steer model output. Your new soft skill.

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)

Feeds live docs to an LLM before it answers, boosting accuracy.
