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.
