In this talk, PingCAP Product Manager Xin Shi explores vector search basics and its role in powering AI-driven applications. We'll dive into how TiDB Vector Search seamlessly integrates with knowledge graphs to enhance data retrieval and provide smarter search results. You'll discover real-world examples of how our partners are leveraging this technology to build cutting-edge generative AI (GenAI) apps, along with customer feedback on their experiences. Join us to learn how TiDB Vector Search is transforming data interaction and driving innovation in AI applications.

During this year's TiDB Future App Hackathon, over 2,000 participants from around the world came together to build AI applications using TiDB Vector Search. In this session, PingCAP Communty Manager Ray Paik discusses the purpose of the Hackathon, how its organized, and its diverse group of participants. He'll also highlight standout projects from the second annual event. Finally, he'll provide key insights from project use cases along with community feedback on TiDB Vector Search.

During this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to deploy TiDB for your RAG application to function even during catastrophic Availability Zone (AZ) failures. You'll also make live upgrades to your TiDB deployment without any interruption to your application or end users. Please bring your laptop to participate in a true lab environment where we'll demo a live scenario revealing how TiDB avoids production interruptions along with the ability to connect your own RAG application for real time testing.
