Vector Database

A specialized way of storing documents that lets an AI agent search by meaning, not just by matching exact words.

A vector database stores documents in a format that captures their meaning, not just their exact wording, so an AI agent can find the most relevant passage even if a question is phrased differently than the source text. It’s a technical piece behind Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) that most business owners never need to see directly.
