AI is changing how we interact with data, and you don’t need a complex setup to start building something powerful.
In this session, we’ll kick off a new SQL + AI community contest and show you exactly what it takes to participate and succeed. You’ll learn how modern AI patterns—from prompting and natural language interactions to embeddings, vector search, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)—connect back to SQL and real data.
We’ll focus on the practical side of building: how to take an idea, shape it with the right prompts, and turn it into something useful, whether that’s a simple interaction or a fully working intelligent app. Along the way, we’ll explore example scenarios, common patterns, and ways to think about solving real problems with SQL + AI.
This session is designed to get you ready. By the end, you’ll understand what the contest expects, how to approach it, and how to apply these concepts beyond the contest—in your own projects and real-world work!
