Sessions
Relevance feedback loops used to take months. AI agents can now compress the process to seconds. This talk explores agentic retrieval: systems where agents adjust scoring models, schema, and indexing in real time. Learn how to build retrieval infrastructure with verifiable APIs that enable agents to optimize their own search context.
Why do we even need traditional search when AI can do everything? Or is it foolish to ignore simple, proven techniques for delivering great results? What's the best way to combine old and new? Join our panel of experts for a fun and provocative debate!
