Inside the Foundational Data Layer

🎥 Recorded live at the MLOps World | GenAI Summit 2025 — Austin, TX (October 9, 2025) Session Title: What Does a Foundational Data Layer for the AI Era Look Like? Speaker: Vishakha Gupta-Cledat, Co-Founder & CEO, ApertureData Abstract: AI systems are evolving rapidly—from recognition to reasoning, and now to agency—but most are still limited by text-based architectures and semantic search. What they’re missing is human-like memory: contextual awareness, multimodal understanding, and efficiency. In this live demo, Vishakha Gupta-Cledat, CEO of ApertureData, showcases how ApertureDB serves as the foundational data layer for the AI era, enabling developers to build truly intelligent, multimodal systems. She demonstrates how easily teams can ingest and manage text, image, and video data within ApertureDB and integrate it into AI workflows for Smart Agents and GenAI applications. The session highlights how enterprise-ready data infrastructure can power contextual memory, accelerate retrieval, and bring multimodal intelligence to production-scale systems. What you’ll learn: • What a foundational data layer for AI agents should include • How to manage and query multimodal data efficiently • How ApertureDB enables contextual memory and semantic reasoning at scale • Real examples of AI workflows and plug-ins in action • Why building a data layer purpose-built for AI is key to the next wave of innovation.
