Even OpenAI couldn’t answer a simple business question without digging through 70,000 datasets and 15 tools. The problem isn’t AI — it’s fragmented data.

See why their internal struggle validates the need for enterprise AI systems like Minds 👇

🚀 Build smarter AI search—fast.

@burkov breaks down how to build semantic & hybrid search with MindsDB Knowledge Bases:
✅ Vector embeddings for meaning
✅ Metadata filters for precision
✅ SQL simplicity for scale

SQL meets Semantic Search 🔥

Traditional databases don't understand natural language. Vector databases can't filter with precision.

MindsDB's Knowledge Base Algebra solves this problem, and it's 100% open-source.

Here's what makes it different:

You can connect to 200+ data sources (structured and unstructured) and build a unified knowledge base that combines semantic search, metadata filtering, and complex Boolean logic (SQL) into one system.

Users just write natural language queries. That's it.

I built a movie recommendation agent with 300k+ movies to show you what this looks like in action. Some records are clean (genre, rating, year), but most are messy (plot summaries, reviews, scattered text).

With traditional tools, you have two bad options:

1. Write rigid SQL filters and miss the nuance
2. Use an LLM that guesses its way through

With MindsDB, you ask in natural language. The system automatically identifies the semantic search components, applies metadata filters, and executes the boolean logic to give you exactly what you need.

The best part? This runs locally on your machine.

I recorded a step-by-step video showing how to build this system from scratch. Check it out below.

To get started, I've shared a link to MindsDB's GitHub repo in the next tweet!

🚫 ETL isn’t free — it’s a hidden tax on your data stack.

Infra costs. Duplication risks. Slower insights.

MindsDB eliminates ETL with SQL + AI → query data where it lives, get real-time, explainable answers.
