Accurate knowledge search that scales for AI agents — production-grade retrieval infrastructure.
Vectara is a RAG-as-a-service platform that provides end-to-end retrieval-augmented generation through a single API. It handles document ingestion, chunking, embedding, retrieval, reranking, and generation—with built-in hallucination detection and citation extraction—without requiring developers to manage any RAG infrastructure.
