Weaviate is an open-source vector database designed to store, manage, and query vector data, specifically crafted for AI-driven search and recommendation systems. It is easy to integrate, scalable, and capable of handling high-dimensional vectors, high-performance similarity searches, as well as hybrid queries combining traditional structured data.
Weaviate not only stores vectors but also supports real-time vector creation, integration with machine learning models, and visual data analysis. Whether you’re building recommendation systems, search engines, or AI-powered applications, Weaviate provides robust support.
