Carly Richmond
Developer Advocate and Manager at Elastic
Carly will show you how to take search beyond traditional methods by combining lexical and vector search for a powerful hybrid approach in Elasticsearch. You’ll explore how LLMs fit into search, the role of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and how to ground AI-driven search in real data for more relevant, accurate results.
