In this episode of What’s New in Data, we’re joined by Clare from AWS to dig into the evolving role of retrieval in modern AI systems. Clare unpacks why retrieval shouldn’t just be thought of as a technique to get documents — it’s a strategic tool that can unlock smarter, more adaptive agents. We also explore how AWS is thinking about orchestration, what actually counts as “reasoning,” and why the real power lies in combining structured memory with real-time context. If you’re building with agents, this one’s packed with insight.
