Vendor AI Strategies and Challenges: Lucidworks, Coveo, OpenSearch, and Algolia

Session 6

December 4, 2024 @ 1:00 PM ET | 10:00 AM PT

Generative AI has changed the search business.  Delve into the impacts this has had on search vendors as they have adapted to the new LLM world order.  Hear directly from several leading search vendors who will discuss how the evolving marketplace has impacted individuals at these organizations and how their jobs and careers have taken an unexpected turn.  This is less about hearing about features and functions and more about understanding the human impact on the people who are leading the charge in bringing these emerging technologies to the marketplace.  We are all facing major changes in how we work and how we adapt to changing business realities.   (Much more compelling than a sales pitch :-) )
