Best for
Developers building latency-sensitive voice agents, copilots, and search experiences
Who is it for?
Decision note
Rebuilt from the original export under the complete V412/V411 factual-source-verification workflow. Preview only. Apply remains blocked until Failures = 0, Warnings = 0, Unmapped = 0, Missing = 0; explicit clears are reviewed; image import is disabled; a representative WordPress edit screen is compared with the export and proposed row; and a post-Apply zero-change Preview succeeds.
Key features
Sub-10-millisecond local semantic search
Python and JavaScript SDKs
Built-in on-device embeddings and custom embeddings
Optional sync engine, cloud fallback, and control-plane API
Use cases
Ground voice agents with low-latency retrieval
Add semantic search to documentation
Run offline or on-device retrieval
Build real-time copilots and conversational AI
Pros
- Developer plan includes free credits
- Unlimited local queries are never metered
- Browser, device, server, and cloud deployment
Cons
- Cloud storage, ingest, egress, and voice usage are metered
- Advanced sync and cloud search require paid plans
- The core runtime is source-available under BSD-2-Clause rather than a fully managed open standard
Limitations
Latency claims depend on data size, hardware, index loading, and benchmark conditions.
Cloud and local index consistency requires testing during updates and failures.
