Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems rely on pre-chunked documents, tying retrieval to arbitrary boundaries. This talk explores an experimental approach that surfaces semantically relevant text spans, without chunking. We'll share surprising findings and examine whether this technique points toward a viable chunk-free retrieval paradigm.

The LLM ecosystem changes faster than most teams can adapt. This talk shares our experience and the practical lessons we’ve learned while building an intelligent search product in a world where models, tools, and best practices constantly evolve.
