Tech Talk: Implementing AI Vector Search

Speakers: Santhosh Kumar (Oracle)
Abstract: Oracle APEX is Oracle’s powerful low-code platform designed to accelerate the development of secure, scalable enterprise applications. In this session, discover how Oracle APEX now integrates AI Vector Search from Oracle Database 23ai—bringing next-level intelligence to your apps with semantic, meaning-based search capabilities. We’ll demonstrate how you can go beyond traditional keyword search to deliver smarter, context-aware results across text, images, and documents. Whether you run deep learning models directly in the database, connect to a Generative AI service, or invoke a custom LLM via REST API, Oracle APEX makes it simple. Join us for live demos showcasing how easily these capabilities can be implemented using SQL and APEX’s declarative tools, without the need for any external AI infrastructure.
What You’ll Learn in This Session:
• AI Vector Search in APEX: Add smarter, meaning-based search to your low-code apps.
• Semantic Search & Vector Embeddings: Understand how vector search works and why it’s more effective than keywords.
• How to Use AI Vector Search in APEX: Set it up easily using SQL and APEX’s built-in tools—no extra services needed.
• Better User Experience: Discover how semantic search gives more accurate and helpful results
• Real-World Examples: See use cases like image search, document retrieval, and RAG.
