#1 on Amazon’s Hot New Releases list in Machine Theory! 📚🚀
We’re proud to celebrate our founder and CEO, Nicholas Knize, Ph.D., whose upcoming book, Scaling Search and Retrieval for Contextual AI, is already making its mark and is available now for preorder.
We’re super excited, but we can’t say we’re surprised. Nick is humble about his accomplishments, but his work speaks for itself. As the creator of AWS OpenSearch and a search expert whose career spans geospatial technology, defense, and enterprise systems, he brings a depth of experience that’s reflected in both his writing and his leadership.
That same expertise is at the heart of Lucenia. The principles Nick explores in his book, from search architecture and distributed systems to hybrid retrieval, shape how we’re building the infrastructure that connects AI to the information it needs.
As AI continues to evolve, the ability to retrieve relevant, reliable context becomes increasingly important. Nick has dedicated his career to solving the search challenges behind that work. He is truly Dr. Search.
Congratulations, Nick, and thank you to everyone who has supported the book! 👏
