In this episode of the Cozy AI Kitchen, we’re cooking up something special. Join host John Maeda and special guest Chef David Mauri, PM for AI and SQL at Microsoft, as they explore how SQL Server 2025 and Azure SQL are evolving with AI-powered capabilities like vector search, embeddings, and LLM integration.
From generating embeddings with T-SQL to building full RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) patterns and exposing SQL as REST endpoints, this episode is packed with practical demos and delicious metaphors. Whether you’re a seasoned data chef or just getting started with AI in databases, this one’s for you.
