Knowledge Bases & Memory for Agentic AI

Tuana Çelik
Tuana Çelik
Some of the latest big evolutionary steps in generative AI has been models that support function calling and “agentic” capabilities. This is provides generative models with “tools” that allow them to go beyond generating outputs for simple queries, and start planning the best way to solve complex queries. In this talk, we’ll be diving into using vector databases as the backbone for these types of complex AI architectures, both serving as knowledge bases, and memory.

Enhancing Model Context Protocol (MCP) with Dynamic Tool Discovery for Smarter AI

Viraj Sharma
Viraj Sharma
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging standard that enables structured data provisioning for LLMs and AI agents. However, the current data discovery mechanism in MCP is static. This limits the AI’s ability to dynamically assess the utility, relevance, and efficiency of data tool calls in real time. Here I present an enhancement to MCP "tool discovery" that introduces dynamic data descriptions, allowing LLM to be better informed.
