**Prelegent:** Piotr Przybyl, Senior Developer Advocate dla Elastic

**Opis spotkania**

**ES\|QL: nowy sposób wyciągania danych z Elasticsearch**
Wiele osób myśli\, że Elasticsearch to wciąż tylko wyszukiwanie tekstowe i że można je wykonać jedynie przy pomocy QueryDSL \(w JSONie\) albo KQL w Kibanie\. Tymczasem ludzie z Elastica stworzyli nowy język do wyciągania i wizualizacji danych: ES\|QL\. Trochę wygląda jak skrzyżowanie Basha z SQLem\, ale dzięki temu jest zwykle szybszy i prostszy do zrozumienia dla ludzi i… komputerów\.

**O prelegencie**

**Dołącz do nas!**

To pierwsze z trzech spotkań poświęconych Elasticowi, prowadzonych w języku polskim.

Online event

Join us for a meetup at Motorworld on Wednesday November 5th, the eve before ElasticON!

We'll have presentations, networking, pizza and refreshments.

**Address**
Motorworld Munich - Stellwerk 2
[Am Ausbesserungswerk 8 · München, BY](https://maps.app.goo.gl/hGCA7X7FWfQhku4u9)
*When you arrive, please inform your name and that you will go to the meetup at Stellwerk 2.*

**Agenda**
18.00: Doors Open, join us for pizza and a drink

18.20: Talk #1: **Building AI Agents with Elastic Agent Builder and MCP**
**[Tatiana Finamor](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatianafinamor/)**, Customer Architect at Elastic
**Abstract:** The Model Context Protocol (MCP) creates a bridge between AI models and external tools, allowing them to exchange information in a structured and secure way.
In this session, we will look at how Elastic fits into this new ecosystem.
We will demonstrate how to use Claude Desktop to query Elastic data through MCP using natural language, and how the Elastic Agent Builder can be used within a serverless project to build and deploy intelligent, data-aware agents.
This session is a practical introduction for anyone curious about combining Elastic with modern AI frameworks to simplify data access, automation, and intelligent interaction.

19.00: Talk #2: **Intro to the Elastic Inference Service (EIS)**
**[Max Jakob](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxjakob/)**, Principal Software Engineer I - Search Experiences at Elastic
**[Tim Grein](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-grein/)**, Senior Software Engineer at Elastic
**Abstract:** AI models are everywhere in search these days. In this talk, we will present the Elastic Inference Service (EIS), the new way to apply AI models within the Elastic Stack. This GPU-backed service enables high throughput ingest, low latency search, reranking and LLM chat that all integrate neatly with Elasticsearch and Kibana. Everything is managed by Elastic, no need for users to configure any infrastructure or models. Get started with semantic search and built-in Kibana AI features out-of-the-box! We will demo what's possible today and give an outlook into what's coming in the next months.

19.40 Lightning Talk **Evolution of search - from keyword to contextual**
**[Petar Perković](https://www.linkedin.com/in/petar-perkovi%C4%87-661734150/)**, Data Science and DWH Engineering Manager at Njuškalo
**[Nikolina Kosanović](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikolina-kosanovi%C4%87-79541786/)**, Senior ML Engineer at Njuškalo
**Abstract:** Search technology has come a long way from simple keyword matching to systems that truly understand meaning and context. In this talk, we’ll trace that evolution - from traditional keyword search to semantic and contextual search, and explore how each approach impacts relevance and user experience. Using real-world examples and practical comparisons, we’ll uncover how these techniques work under the hood, where Elastic fits in and how we use it at Njuškalo.

19.55: Networking

20.30: Close

PS: Join ElasticON Munich the next day — a free, full-day conference on search, observability, and security with Elastic, you can register [here](https://www.elastic.co/events/elasticon/munich).

Abstracts:

**Building Data-Grounded AI Agents with Elastic Agent Builder**
The shift to enterprise AI agents requires a foundation of fresh\, high\-velocity data\. This talk explores the complete\, real\-time data loop\, beginning with Confluent/Kafka streams that reliably feed live logs\, metrics\, and security events into the Elastic Stack\. We will dive into making the most of this data using the Elastic Agent Builder\, Elastic’s new platform designed to transform this continuously updated Elasticsearch data into active\, conversational partners\. We will explore how technical practitioners can leverage the Agent Builder to create specialized AI experts—such as a cybersecurity analyst or a site reliability engineer—by defining custom Tools\. A primary focus will be on defining these tools using ES\|QL \(Elasticsearch Query Language\)\, demonstrating how parameterized\, optimized queries operate over real\-time data and serve as deterministic guardrails for the Large Language Model \(LLM\)\. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to use Elastic in building a high\-velocity\, data\-grounded AI agent ecosystem\.

**Streaming Context: Powering Semantic Search with Kafka and Elasticsearch**
As the de facto platform for event streaming, we’ve seen how data from Apache Kafka can easily empower basic keyword search. But let's be real, modern semantic search applications need *context* to interpret the real meaning and intent of a user's query. We could wait around for the next batch job to kick off and provide that context... *or* we could serve it up in near real-time right from our data streams. In this session, we'll dive into how to leverage data streams from Kafka to power much smarter semantic search with Elasticsearch. We’ll follow a simple event from a Kafka topic and see how it transforms into a powerful vector embedding. Then, we’ll see this whole flow in action using a k-Nearest Neighbor search to instantly find similar items in milliseconds. While my code examples will be in Java or Kotlin using the Spring Boot and Spring AI ecosystem, FEAR NOT! The core concepts—getting data into a vector format via a stream—are totally language agnostic. Join us to grab a few practical ideas you can take and use in your next project!

Meet us for talks at Zalando on November 12, 2025!

Doors open at 18.00 with pizza, refreshments, and networking to follow. We wrap up at 20.30.

Please make sure you sign up with your full name.

📅**Date and Time:**
Wednesday, November 12, from 6:00-8:30 PM

📍**Location:**
[Zalando Office BHW](https://maps.app.goo.gl/GELYd8FH7AnqEFNF8)
Berlin Hedwig-Wachenheimstraße 7 (BHW)

📝 **Agenda:**

* **18:00 - Doors Open**
Please have your real name in your profile description because the security team will check if you're registered when you arrive.
* **18:30 - Talk #1** **\- The Performance Paradox: When Slower Code Doesn't Slow You Down**
**[Anderson Queiroz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andersonq/)** \- Senior Software Engineer at Elastic
**Abstract:** We added on-the-fly gzip decompression to Elastic Filebeat and the Elastic Agent—our log collection tools—to enable the ingestion of gzip archives and rotated logs. A performance drop was expected, so we benchmarked the feature only to find that the performance didn't drop at all. This talk is the story of our hunt for a non-existent bottleneck and how a holistic view of application performance uncovered the surprising truth about where the real costs lie.
* **19:00 - Talk #2 TBC**
* **19:30 - Pizza, drinks and networking**
