AI Semantic Search - Beyond Keywords to Meaning

Join us on The Before AGI Podcast as we dive into the world of AI-Powered Semantic Search. Forget frustrating keyword struggles! Discover how AI technologies like Natural Language Processing (NLP), vector embeddings, and transformer models are enabling search engines to understand the meaning and intent behind your queries, delivering far more relevant results.

In this episode, you'll gain insights into:
💡 The Semantic Leap: Why understanding intent is a game-changer compared to traditional keyword matching.
⚙️ Core Technologies: Learn about NLP, vector embeddings, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate), transformers (BERT), and knowledge graphs.
🔄 The Process: Understand the offline indexing and online query stages that power semantic search.
🌍 Real-World Impact: Explore applications transforming e-commerce, healthcare research, legal tech, customer support, and more.
📈 Key Platforms: Hear about players like Elasticsearch, Pinecone, Google Cloud Search, Azure AI Search, and specialized tools.
🚧 Challenges & Future: Discuss hurdles like complexity, cost, data bias, and the exciting future of multimodal and conversational search integrated with generative AI.

This deep dive clarifies how AI is fundamentally changing information retrieval, making it more intuitive, powerful, and human-like.
