Hello! For quite some time already I wanted to get started creating my own entity resolution tool. As I understand, the main contestant for it is AI Agent with LLM, vector datasets, and pre-filter in a form of fuzzy string matching or something similar to it. The main reason why it should be AI is because I'm almost certain, that for this exact case I won't be able to create concrete rules that can determine if those entities are the same thing, just from different sources.

First I would like to create such a project to map diecast cars across different brands. For example, I own a Mazda mx-5 from hot wheels and matchbox in 1/64 and from another brand in 1/32. So an agent should be able to understand, that this is the same car and later provide me information in which dimensions I have such a car, from which manufacturers and in what colors. It might sound too easy to involve AI, but there are a lot of caveats (like tuned versions being considered as a separate "car") and I want to treat this project as a preparation for, possibly, working in the future with much more complex datasets and entities.

I have some minimal experience with local LLM models (I used Ollama and tried to train it on my own set of documentation) and with vector databases, but I'm still really new to this. If possible, I would be really glad if someone could provide me this information:

1. Approximate tools I need to investigate;

2. Some documentation, guides, perhaps even courses;

3. Maybe a roadmap of some sorts on how I should start tackling this task;

4. In general any sort of advice about this matter.

Thank you everyone who read this whole message! And I'm sorry if I used any terminology incorrectly. Hope you have a great day
