What it does

Search infrastructure for AI applications, commonly used as a retrieval layer for agents, RAG apps, and local prototypes.

Why it belongs here

A practical way to keep context nearby and queryable instead of force-feeding the model everything every turn.

Best use case

Teams prototyping RAG apps, local AI tools, and agent memory systems that need a simple retrieval layer.

How to use it

Store embeddings for reusable knowledge, retrieve small task-relevant sets, and compare prompt size and answer quality against full-context baselines.

Limits

Easy setup does not remove the need for data hygiene, permissions, and retrieval evaluation before production use.

AI cost challenges mount as agent use gets more complex: KPMG

KPMG’s Q2 AI Pulse (204 US leaders at $1B+ firms) finds twice as many companies now running fleets of coordinated agents — up to 18% from 9% — yet only 26% can see in real time what AI at scale actually costs them.

Companies spent months pushing workers to use AI more. Now the token Hunger Games could be coming.

Business Insider reports the workplace swing from “use more AI” to rationing: Pylon set token caps to dodge a $1.4M bill, Coinbase and Walmart added limits, and “tokens” surfaced in 129 Q2 earnings calls — up from 57 a quarter earlier.
