Google Developer Groups (GDG) San Antonio is heading to San Antonio Startup + Tech Week 2026!

Join us on the Tech & Builders community floor at The Rand for a deep dive into modern generative search and language models. While this session is an official feature of SA Startup + Tech Week, GDG San Antonio is hosting the room to bring builders, developers, and founders together.

Session Overview: Behind the Answer: How LLMs and Google AI Search Work

Have you ever wondered how AI assistants and generative search engines retrieve relevant information and turn it into grounded, actionable answers?

This technical session explores how modern LLMs and AI search architectures process natural language queries, retrieve and rank high-dimensional data, ground responses with authoritative sources, and generate context-aware outputs. We will break down the engineering and retrieval patterns powering tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.
