OLAP for AI Applications and why you should care

Andrey Abramov

Modern AI agents require more than simple document retrieval. Search-OLAP natively unifies semantic search with rigid SQL aggregations. Empower your LLMs to reason across billions of rows instantly.

#1 about 6 min

How AI agents execute reasoning chains for complex queries

The transition from human analysts to AI agents generating dozens of interrelated queries to find relevant data.

#2 about 3 min

Architectural challenges of AI-driven data queries

Why limited LLM context windows and scattered, siloed data prevent effective precomputation or caching for agentic workflows.

#3 about 2 min

Introducing SearchOLAP for native analytical processing

Processing data where it lives by integrating search primitives into an analytical database architecture instead of duplicating it.

#4 about 4 min

Core architecture and federated execution of SearchOLAP

How columnar storage, zone map indices, and remote row navigation combine to support distributed, scalable query processing securely.

#5 about 3 min

Handling latency and synchronization for remote data sources

Strategies for managing network latency and keeping external databases or lakehouses in sync using CDC tools and snapshots.

#6 about 3 min

Benchmarking SearchOLAP against existing database engines

Analyzing insertion speed, disk size, and query latency using the open-source SearchBench framework on large-scale telemetry data.

#7 about 4 min

Live demo predicting chess moves across billions of rows

A real-time demonstration scanning three billion chess moves and evaluating them simultaneously with k-nearest neighbors and an evaluation engine.

#8 about 5 min

Q&A on analytical databases and market convergence

A discussion comparing SearchOLAP to other compute engines and how major database providers are converging transactional and analytical workloads.
