💭**Talk Abstracts:**
**Elastic ELSER in Production: Powering a RAG Voice Assistant for Enterprise Customers**
**Abstract:** Nikita Pestrov and Jessica Monteiro from Zello will share how Elastic ELSER played a central role in launching a RAG-powered Voice
Assistant — Ella — from a fast prototype to a customer-facing, multi-tenant production deployment in just 3 months. The talk focuses on how ElasticSearch and ELSER enabled semantic search at scale, supported rapid experimentation, and adapted to meet the demands of enterprise environments, including content isolation, real-time latency, and operational robustness.We will highlight how Elastic accelerated the RAG architecture’s development and remained flexible enough to serve complex customer use cases. The team will also share how they evaluated and improved retrieval quality across use cases using both automated and human-in-the-loop techniques.
This session is ideal for teams building with Elastic in LLM workflows, or anyone scaling RAG systems for real-world, high-impact applications.

*Please RSVP to secure your spot!*

**Talk:**
**GenAI in Security Investigations: Practical Gains for Detection & Response Teams**
What does Generative AI actually change for security operations and investigations?
In this session, we'll explore real-world insights on how GenAI is being applied in threat detection and incident response — not in theory, but in practice.

Based on findings from a Delphi study involving SOC and AI experts, we'll cover:

* Where GenAI adds value in triage, enrichment, and investigation workflows
* The limits and risks when applying GenAI in post-detection scenarios
* How detection & response teams can use GenAI to speed up investigations without compromising accuracy

We'll wrap with demo highlights of how Elastic brings GenAI to life in real-world SOC workflows — from alert context to investigation assistance, to accelerating data collection and response actions across the detection lifecycle.

*Speaker: Marvin Ngoma, Principal Security Architect (Elastic)*

**Many thanks to Oxylabs for hosting us!**

Rejoignez-nous pour l’édition de juillet du Elastic Montréal Meetup, présentée en format virtuel **et bilingue**! Deux présentations captivantes l’une en français, l’autre en anglais seront au programme, pour explorer les possibilités d’Elastic dans des contextes technologiques variés.

**🎙 Présentations au programme :**

**En français : Exploiter la suite Elastic dans les télécoms**

**In English : Building Search-Aligned Autonomous Systems with MCP, Elastic, and Tron**

By Justin Castilla, Sr. Developer Advocate at Elastic

Autonomous agents become more capable, yet they also become harder to trust - similar to the MCP of Tron long ago! The modern Model Context Protocol (MCP) introduces structure to an agent's reasoning by clearly defining context layers and transitions. In this talk, you'll learn how Elastic can serve as the memory, grounding, and trace layer for MCP-based systems—bringing observability and accuracy to otherwise “black-boxy” LLM behaviors.

We'll walk through a working example that shows how Elastic and MCP combine to build search-aligned, interpretable, and reliable agentic AI.Key Takeaways:

* Understand what MCP is and why it's important for agentic systems

* See how Elastic acts as both the memory and the observability layer

* Learn how to combine these for more robust and interpretable AI agents

📌Que vous débutiez avec Elastic ou que vous soyez déjà un·e utilisateur·trice expérimenté·e, cet événement est l’occasion idéale pour approfondir vos connaissances et échanger avec la communauté.
