ABOUT THE TALK
  • Databases

For decades, database interactions have been constrained by traditional Create, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations, but the emergence of AI agents is poised to revolutionize this paradigm. This session explores a transformative approach to database interaction, where databases become collaborative partners capable of understanding complex, natural language commands. Attendees will discover how future databases might interpret sophisticated requests like "Translate all documents to Spanish and summarize them" or "Extract the 2024 Sales numbers and map out their correlation with events and feature releases." By moving beyond vector search and similarity matching, this talk reveals a groundbreaking vision of databases as intelligent, context-aware systems that can comprehend, process, and execute nuanced human instructions.
