Lessons From Innovative APEX Deployments (Learning – Panel)


Join our panel of APEX users for insights on why they adopted Oracle APEX, how it's helping them achieve their AI goals, and the interesting things they’re doing with it to differentiate their businesses and create happier customers. This interactive discussion will give existing users ideas on getting even more out of APEX, and make non-users wonder why they haven’t adopted APEX yet.

Rapid ChatBot Development with Oracle AI Optimizer and Toolkit (Hands-on Lab)


With the explosion of Generative AI, organizations are embarking on projects to create enterprise chatbots using techniques like retrieval-augmented generation and agents. How can you make sure your chatbot or AI conversational agent is accurate, polite, respectful, and embodies your organization's values? Rapid experimentation, iteration, and optimization are the key success factors. In this session, learn from developers and an Oracle ACE how you can use Oracle AI Optimizer and Toolkit to find the right LLM, the best parameter settings, the right way to create embeddings from your corpus, how to evaluate and compare performance for different options, and ultimately generate code you can deploy confidently into production.

NOTE: Bring your laptop to follow along for the best hands-on experience. Limited laptops will be provided and available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Beyond Vector Searches: Leveraging Graph in RAG for Smarter AI (Learning – Panel)

   

Ever wondered what property and knowledge graphs are—and why they matter for AI? Join this session to learn how graphs uncover hidden data relationships, interpret complex datasets, and enrich AI queries with meaningful context. We’ll explore their role in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), including the graph-RAG method for selecting optimal contextual data. See how graphs integrate into RAG workflows and compare to traditional vector similarity searches. Whether you’re using Oracle AI, Python, or other tools, you’ll leave with practical ways to add graph-powered insights to your AI projects.
