Business Value & ROI
Why it matters for 2026
Makes unstructured data searchable and comparable for AI systems. Enables 'search by meaning' instead of just keyword matching.
Embeddings are the heart of modern AI search. We select the optimal embedding model for your use case – from OpenAI Ada to domain-specific models.
