In their own words
KDB.AI
KDB.AI is a vector database and search engine for building AI applications with real-time data. Its hybrid search combines dense and sparse vector search with metadata filtering and temporal similarity search. It supports retrieval-augmented generation using unstructured text, video, audio, and image data. Listed vector indexes include Flat, qFlat, IVF, IVFPQ, HNSW, qHNSW, and BM25. Documentation lists integrations with LangChain, Vector IO, and LlamaIndex, while native NVIDIA cuVS integration enables GPU-accelerated vector search. Deployment options include a managed Cloud Starter Edition and a self-managed Server Standard Edition. The free Cloud Starter Edition provides 4 GB of memory per instance, 30 GB of storage, and a 10 MB query size. Its agreement makes no commitment to availability or uptime and provides the service without warranty. The cloud FAQ points users to a Slack community or [email protected] for assistance. The maker presents research assistants, portfolio management, real-time alpha and beta extraction, and image processing as use cases. KDB.AI is offered through API, web, and self-hosted platforms.
