In the era of generative AI, data without context is just noise. This session explores how to transform raw, unstructured data into AI-ready assets through context engineering and semantic understanding. Join Sudheesh (IBM Distinguished Engineer & Master Inventor) and Sachin as they demonstrate a practical architecture using open-source tools— Docling for document intelligence, ContextForge for metadata enrichment, OpenSearch for semantic search, and Langflow for visual workflow orchestration. Learn the three core engineering principles that separate traditional data pipelines from intelligence pipelines: preserving context at every transformation, leveraging semantic relationships to drive data structure, and using open standards to enable flexibility. Whether you're building RAG systems, knowledge graphs, or AI agents, this talk provides actionable insights on making your data truly AI-consumable. Stop building data pipelines. Start building intelligence pipelines.
