OpenSearchCon India 2026

Search finds. Discovery reveals. At Shutterstock, serving one of the world's largest licensed creative content libraries at 2000+ requests per second, the difference is everything.
Generative Discovery changes the contract entirely. It treats every interaction as a signal of intent, builds context across modalities, and applies cognition to surface what users did not know to ask for.
This talk introduces a production architecture built around three principles:
Intent: multimodal signals including text, image, and behavioral context unified into rich intent representations driving OpenSearch k-NN and hybrid retrieval.
Context: session aware, editorially grounded RAG pipelines using OpenSearch as a dynamic retrieval backbone at scale.
Cognition: generative agents that think, orchestrate multi step retrieval, and resolve ambiguous intent, treating OpenSearch as an intelligent reasoning substrate rather than a passive index.
You will learn from real production decisions, evolving thinking, and lessons still being learned on the frontier of Generative Discovery.
