The machine learning features of Elastic Search have helped us with many things such as improving our searches and experience for the guests.
What needs improvement?
We could benefit from refining the machine learning models that we currently use in Elastic Search, along with the possibility to integrate agents, intelligent artificial intelligence, form of agent, and MCP.
It would be useful to include an assistant into Kibana for recommendations, advice, tutorials, or things that can help improve my daily work with Elastic Search.
