From there, the session moves into the real decisions founder-developers and product teams face as they bring AI into their applications: how to move quickly without slowing teams down, how to put AI into production responsibly, and how to avoid a growing patchwork of tools as systems scale. Led by MongoDB’s senior AI and engineering leaders, the morning blends live demos with real technical depth — showing how teams build and operate AI-powered applications, and why a strong, flexible database foundation is essential as those applications grow. You’ll see how MongoDB connects AI capabilities directly to the operational data that powers real products. The session concludes with a forward-looking conversation between CJ Desai and Konstantin Bühler, exploring how builders and business leaders are navigating the next era of software — and what it takes to go from bold idea to real-world impact at scale. 00:00:00 Introduction: The Developer Database 00:01:51 Welcome to MongoDB.local San Francisco 2026 00:02:10 CJ Desai: The Spirit of Innovation in Silicon Valley 00:04:33 Why Software Stacks are Being Redefined by AI 00:07:33 Why the Document Model is Perfect for AI Applications 00:10:26 Anthropic on Scaling Research Data 00:13:04 Agentic Architecture 00:14:48 Announcing Voyage 4 Embedding Models 00:16:30 Live Demo: Semantic Search with Voyage 4 Large and Nano 00:22:57 From Idea to MVP: Building an AI Productivity Application 00:30:32 Managing Agent Memories with MongoDB Atlas 00:33:33 MongoDB Atlas Cluster and Schema Versioning Patterns 00:38:44 Scaling to the World: Security, Durability, and Availability 00:40:55 Isolating Vector Search Workloads with Dedicated Search Nodes 00:42:58 Predictive and Reactive Autoscaling in MongoDB Atlas 00:44:48 Horizontal Scaling with Native Resharding 00:51:00 Multi-cloud Clusters Across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud 00:59:11 Guest: Konstantine Buhler (Sequoia Capital) on AI Investing 01:05:25 What VCs Look for in Daring AI Founders 01:12:07 The Rise of Artificial Specialized Intelligence (ASI) 01:23:22 Closing Remarks Visit Mongodb.com → https://mdb.link/MongoDB Read the MongoDB Blog → https://mdb.link/Blog Read the Developer Blog → https://mdb.link/developerblog
