The canonical example of AdS/CFT relates N=4 SYM in 4d to supergravity on AdS5 x S5 by considering a stack of D3-branes. A natural question then emerges: what about considering other Dp-branes? The worldvolume theory is again SYM but is not conformal anymore, while the supergravity dual is now only conformally AdS. Despite these differences, some control remains, and some inspiration from the p=3 case can be sought. In this talk, I will review this setup and discuss the recent results of [2503.18770] and [2503.14685] regarding the computation of correlation functions.
