💭Talk Abstracts:
Talk to Steve Jobs: An AI Experience Like Never Before Using Elastic's Vector Database - Nitin Murali (Student at Illinois Institute of Technology)

Imagine sitting down for a chat with Steve Jobs—picking his brain about innovation, and creativity, or just hearing his take on today’s world. Using advanced AI and Elastic’s vector database, this app enables two-way voice communication that feels as natural as dialing up a friend.

In this talk, we’ll explore how AI and Elastic’s technology come together to not just mimic his voice but to capture his ideas, personality, and worldview. We’ll dive into the technical architecture behind this experience and showcase a live demo. If you’re looking for inspiration from one of the greatest product minds of all time, this presentation will give you a glimpse of what it might feel like to have a one-on-one with one of history’s greatest visionaries.

do MORE with stateLESS Elasticsearch - Sang Lee (Senior Solutions Architect at Elastic)

How would you build Elasticsearch if it was started in 2024? Decouple compute and storage, outsource the persistence to a blob store like S3, dynamically scale up and down, have the right defaults, and a clear path for developers. This is what we have done!

In this talk, learn how we have redesigned Elasticsearch to do more with a stateless architecture that can run hot queries on cold storage. And see how you can get started with it today.
