Developers can easily create conversational experiences with your data. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) mitigates hallucinations, bias, & copyright infringement. AI is now ready for business.
Get Started
Vectara’s best-in-class retrieval, superior cross-language operation, chat history, and multi-turn generation enable AI Assistants to go many layers deep with high accuracy and minimal hallucinations.
Vectara’s best in class retrieval, enhanced configurability of generation, and API extensibility and scaffolding help turn answers into actions directly in your application with minimal effort.
Retrieval Augmented Generation as a Service

Mockingbird is Vectara’s proprietary custom-trained generative large language model (LLM) designed specifically to excel at retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). When provided with facts and asked a question, Mockingbird will limit itself to answering the question using only the information provided to it, mitigating hallucinations, bias, and PII issues. In our benchmarks and human trials, Mockingbird performed at par with OpenAI’s GPT-4.
Boomerang is Vectara’s proprietary, internally developed embedding and retrieval model. This model is responsible for interpreting a natural-language query (NLP) and retrieving the right information from our vector database. Alone, this enables a fully functioning semantic search system. In a RAG system, this information is provided to an LLM so it can refer to it when it generates a response. Boomerang thrives at cross-language queries in which the question being asked is in a different language than the data stored in the vector database. It performs on par or better than industry models.
Hallucinations are a big problem in generative AI. They occur when an LLM produces an answer based on made-up facts. HHEM is a special proprietary model that we trained to be able to evaluate whether the summary or answer produced by an LLM is consistent with the facts provided to it (instead of simply relying on the data it was trained with). Our platform uses HHEM to produce a Factual Consistency Score for our developers, so they can measure the factual consistency of the responses generated by our platform and perform quality control in their end-user applications. We open-sourced part of HHEM, and it is extremely popular (50K downloads last month). It also powers our hallucination leaderboard of various popular LLMs, which has gained a lot of attention.
Vectara automatically extracts text from PDF and Office to JSON, HTML, XML, CommonMark, and many more.
Encode at scale with cutting edge zero-shot models using deep neural networks optimized for language understanding.
Segment data into any number of indexes storing vector encodings optimized for low latency and high recall.
Recall candidate results from millions of documents using cutting-edge, zero-shot neural network models.
Increase the precision of retrieved results with cross-attentional neural networks to merge and reorder results.
Optionally generate a natural language summary of the top results for Q&A or conversational AI experiences.
Developers choose Vectara over open source LLM frameworks because Vectara takes care of the embeddings, the vector database, and offloads a lot of the complexity workload from developers' plates.-
Have conversations with your data. Ask a question, and Vectara gives you summarized answers based entirely on your inputs with zero hallucinations.
Employ an end-to-end configured platform with easy ingest and API operation. Harness multiple LLMs for language detection, retrieval, and reranking.
Vectara delivers dramatically improved relevance over a broad range of content with no retraining. How we do it: pioneering approaches to NLP using zero-shot AI models.
Vectara is truly language-agnostic. Ask a question in English about papers written in Mandarin or Arabic. Vectara instantly retrieves the information and prepares it for translation.
If your users have questions, we have the answer. Regardless of product, use case, or language, Vectara delivers the most relevant and dependable answer via our “Grounded Generation” technology.
Hybrid search - large language model (LLM) based retrieval and boolean exact match to answer your users’ questions first
Vectara doesn’t just summarize individual documents, but helps answer your users’ questions by looking across them all before answering
APIs are designed for consumption by application developers and data engineers who wish to include elements of a search pipeline within their site or application.
Custom dimensions allow developers to attach key data attributes that could be relevant in scoring results.
Addresses the main drawbacks from using pure generative AI
Relevant facts from only this user’s data are retrieved
Relevant facts are summarized into a response
Executives know they need to start integrating GenAI into their products, and developers and product managers are ready, but trust and security concerns cause trepidation . At Vectara, we've built our platform with this top of mind from day one.
Data encrypted at every stage using military-grade encryption algorithm.
Robust role-based access control available. Access granted via API keys or OAuth 2.0
SOC 2-compliant & independently certified
All user data isolated for maximum security. Data can be further segregated into individual corpora for logical separation within an account.
Customers can employ their own encryption keys to hide account data even from Vectara's engineering team.

All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using military-grade encryption algorithm
Robust role-based access control (RBAC) is available and access can be granted with either API keys or OAuth 2.0
SOC 2 compliant & independently certified
All user data is logically separated from one another, to ensure maximum security. Data can even be further segregated into individual corpora to logically separate within an account
For maximum paranoia: Customers can bring their own encryption keys to encrypt their account data so that even Vectara engineering team cannot gain access to your data
