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.
