AWS and Elastic are looking forward to hosting you for this NYC meetup, where our speakers will demonstrate how to build intelligent, domain-specific applications
We’ll showcase how we built an agentic AI application to support financial analysts with a conversational AI assistant. In the process, we will highlight key architectural components:
- Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet,
- Amazon Bedrock.
- Elasticsearch Vector Database
- Elasticsearch MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server
This AI assistant transforms complex workflows—like assessing the impact of market news for thousands of customer portfolios—into an intuitive, natural language dialogue. We’ll demonstrate how to build and integrate intelligent AI assistants to:
- Rapidly identify patterns in complex financial data.
- Build meaningful correlations, such as linking news sentiment to portfolio performance.
- Engage with your data in real-time, using natural language.
The presenters will also highlight how MCP servers can integrate additional services, such as weather data and email notifications, combining the power of search and generative AI.
