  • eCommerce AI Quick Fix Webinars

    AI promises smarter, more personalized shopping experiences, but many eCommerce teams hesitate, wary of high-risk “AI transformation” projects and uncertain ROI. The good news is that adopting AI doesn’t have to mean disruption, and the path forward doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing.

    In this series of short, focused sessions, we’ll tackle some of the most pressing challenges in eCommerce, including zero-result searches, poor relevance, weak personalization, and fragmented data. We will show how AI can solve them step by step.

  • AICamp Meetups: Data and model interaction – how GenAI apps are built

    Models need up-to-date facts (data) to solve tasks. But data (retrieval) needs models, too: for semantic search and for ranking top candidates. We will go through the data/model interplay: you will learn how to transform problems into the numeric domain using tensors, and with this, work with text, image, and videos.

    We’ll do live demos from life sciences, e-commerce and media. Whether it’s personalizing the shopping experience in real time or finding the next song to autoplay, this session will help you think beyond LLMs—and design retrieval-first GenAI systems that deliver real-world impact.

  • Migrating from Elasticsearch to Vespa.ai, Oct 15, 10am ET

    Migrating from Elasticsearch is easier than you think. On October 15 at 10am ET, Vespa.ai and partner Searchplex will host a practical workshop showing how to move to Vespa with confidence. Topics include schemas, pipelines, access controls, and the real-world benefits of a unified AI Search Platform.
