AI Isn't the Problem. Your Data Architecture Is.

from The Ravit Show Hosted by Ravit Jain

Last week at MongoDB.local Bangalore I sat down with Pete Johnson, Field CTO for AI at MongoDB, on The Ravit Show. Pete is a good friend and one of the most honest voices I know in this space. We covered a lot of ground. We walked through the announcements from the day. - voyage-context-4 going generally available. - Native Reranking hitting public preview. - Hybrid Search now GA. - Search and Vector Search shipping in both Community Edition and Enterprise Advanced. Pete broke down why retrieval quality has quietly become the most important AI conversation in enterprises right now, and what a real improvement in retrieval actually changes for teams trying to move from pilot to production. We spent real time on agentic AI. What is working, what is still slideware, and why the teams shipping agents in production are almost always the ones who solved the data layer first. We got into the message Pete brought to the general session. AI in production is a data problem, not a model problem. Simple line. Explains why so many enterprise AI programs stall. #data #ai #mongodb #mongodblocal #theravitshow
