Building an AI-Powered Medical Research Assistant with Elasticsearch - Mohan Krishna Alavala (Senior DevOps Engineer, Albertsons Companies)
MedSearch AI is a medical research assistant designed to help users quickly discover reliable medical information using hybrid retrieval and AI agents. In this talk, I’ll walk through how Elasticsearch powers the retrieval layer using vector search, keyword search, and hybrid ranking to improve answer relevance. I’ll also share architecture decisions, challenges encountered while combining Elasticsearch with LLMs, and lessons learned building the system during a hackathon.17 attendees

💭 Talk Details:
Building FarmSense: Hyper-Local Crop Advisories with ES|QL, ELSER, and Elastic Agent Builder - Ankit Hemant Lade — Data Scientist and Sai Krishna Jasti — AI EngineerFarmSense is an AI agronomist that delivers hyper-contextual crop advisories to smallholder farmers in plain language — via Kibana Agent Chat or a Telegram bot. In this talk, we'll walk through how we used Elastic Agent Builder to orchestrate an LLM across seven custom tools that reason in parallel over four independent data streams: geo-aware climate time-series, regional pest outbreaks, ISRIC-style soil profiles, and FAO/CGIAR agronomic guidance. We'll dig into the architectural trade-offs — why we leaned on ES|QL for geo and time-series aggregations, how ELSER v2 bridges the "leaves look weird" → "chlorosis" semantic gap, and how Elastic Workflows handle audit logging and critical pest-risk webhook alerts. Expect a live demo, a tour of the 4-step pipeline, and a few lessons learned from shipping an agent that needs to respond end-to-end in under 60 seconds.
