Domino IQ is a new feature in Domino 14.5. It connects Domino applications with Large Language Models (LLMs). The feature came with the Early Access Program (EAP) for Domino 14.5 last autumn. Now, it's available in the latest Domino 14.5 release.
I’ve come across a few questions about connecting Domino IQ with external engines like Ollama and OpenAI. Here’s how I got it working from scratch—hopefully it’ll help you too.
I’ve always been obsessed about finding the right balance between user experience and functionality. This can be a real challenge for us, Domino developers, as we spend much of our working day with Domino Designer. Falling in love with macOS almost a decade ago hasn’t made things easier either, as I had to deal with the added complexity of running a VM. And to top it off, Apple’s move to the highly efficient ARM architecture hasn’t received enough love and respect from HCL.
So, while I can’t avoid Domino Designer completely, I do try to minimise the time I spend using it.
Last month, I promised a release at my Engage 2025 talk. Here we are!
I’ve just released the first version of the Domino integration project for the Langchain4j library.
It's been four years since my last blog post. Even back then, I mostly just shared a slide deck or a few brief updates — so I haven’t really blogged properly for nearly a decade.
Today, it has been exactly 20 years, since Nathan T. Freeman posted the following idea on a Notes.net forum:
First-time speaker at Collabsphere here!
For obvious reasons, I have not been in Collabsphere before. This time it was all online and they nicely accepted my session proposal, so I made my first time in this conference. Richard Moy and the Collabsphere team has done a significant work by gathering a great line up and organizing a flawless online conference. Thank you!
Today, during my session, I remembered I had a blog and my last update was the last year, again for sharing a slide deck :)
So, here it comes... Yet another slide deck on my blog...
Theo Heselmans did it again: A very well-organized conference with a fantastic venue and a great lineup of speakers covering various topics...
Engage was quite unexpected for me this year.
In 2003, I left my job and started looking for a better one. I wasn't quite happy working for a corporation and I wasn't the employee of the month either. However, after a series of coincidences, I end up with a brand new laptop waiting for a long bus ride to a resort near the Mediterranean Sea.
Finally, it's here... We've been waiting for this for a long time.
