Retrieval for Agents: Building retrieval infrastructure for the new and powerful user

A Hornet evening at AI Engineer World's Fair Agents do not search like humans. Legacy retrieval infrastructure was tuned for a human typing two words and clicking the top result. Agents are a different and capable user, with different workload characteristics. Join Hornet during AI Engineer World's Fair for a technical evening on the retrieval engine built for agents. Jo Kristian Bergum, Hornet's CEO and co-founder, will talk about what the next generation of retrieval systems for agents look like: workload shape, retrieval tool abstractions, relevance across turns, and the unreasonable effectiveness of primitives for agentic retrieval. We will have special guests on stage, then open the room for Q&A, drinks, food, and technical conversations with the people building and operating agent infrastructure. If you are serving agent-driven retrieval traffic, building a Search API for agents, or evaluating core infrastructure for high-volume agent workloads, this event is for you. Space is limited.
