How AI is used

Vectara is a platform designed for businesses that need to build AI agents grounded in specific company data rather than general knowledge. It uses Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to provide answers based on provided documents, which can include text, tables, and images.

The tool offers several deployment options: standard SaaS, VPC, and on-premise installations. This flexibility allows companies to choose their preferred balance of data control and security requirements.

Key capabilities include hallucination detection and factual consistency scoring to help reduce the risk of AI-generated errors. The platform is model-agnostic, allowing users to bring their own LLMs through its BYOM capability.

Buyers should note that this is an enterprise solution with a technical setup geared toward developers and operations managers. Organizations should confirm if their specific data formats and compliance needs align with the platform's SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA certifications.
