Google’s move into AI-powered search has intensified competition, with several players vying for dominance in this space.
1. Vectara
Founded in 2022 by ex-Google engineers, Vectara claims to offer a superior conversational AI search platform. Its approach uses a hybrid model combining semantic search based on large language models (LLMs) and precise keyword matching. Vectara emphasizes:
Grounded Generation: Reliance solely on factual data provided by developers, avoiding hallucinations or fabricated results.
Language Agnosticism: Support for queries and data in any language, with cross-language capabilities.
Privacy Focus: No storage or sharing of personal user data.
