Why this topic matters
In AI context is king. And context doesn't exist without retrieval. But the type of retrieval, the features and functionality needed to make your app successful, matter a great deal. In this talk we'll cover vector databases, and what to look for when choosing a solution for your app. Including my opinions on what to look for and avoid.
