"Your AI Is Only as Fast as Your Data: Real-Time RAG for Customer Experience at Scale"
We showcase a real-world automotive use case where a slow, fragmented knowledge system was transformed into an agentic AI solution delivering fast, context-aware answers through a scalable RAG architecture with real-time data infrastructure. The session covers the shift from document search to answer generation, key architectural challenges like latency and cost, and why real-time analytical systems like ClickHouse are key to making agentic AI production-ready.
