I will discuss recent work computing the three-point functions of two giant gravitons with a point-like graviton, using holographic techniques which recently became available in the literature. Comparing to gauge theory computations, we find that the holographic computation has a smooth limit to the case of three point-like gravitons while the gauge theory result does not. The reasons for this are traced to the fact that the gauge theory operators do not have a limit in which single trace operators are recovered.
