Vectara

Unify data. Deliver context. Trust every answer.

Visit Vectara

Vectara is an enterprise agent platform for building managed AI agents that retrieve answers from complex, multimodal enterprise data, including documents, logs, manuals, and process data. It addresses the problem of scattered enterprise knowledge by unifying that data into a governed source of context, so agents can return traceable, cited answers grounded in the organization's own information and policies.

The platform includes retrieval and generation models, hallucination detection, and real-time policy and factual-consistency enforcement. It offers a single API for building agents and sub-agents, with centralized visibility into usage, audit trails, costs, and performance. Deployment options include cloud, VPC, and on-premise. Integrations and model options include Boomerang Retrieval LLM, Advanced Retrieval Engine, Mockbird Generative LLM, and Bring Your Own Model support for embedding and generative models such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Vectara is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and HIPAA compliant.

Vectara is intended for enterprises building mission-critical AI agents, with particular relevance to semiconductor engineering, quality, and failure-analysis workflows. It is packaged as SaaS, VPC, and on-premise editions, each with a 30-day free trial that includes all features. Optional premium add-ons include a Forward-Deployed AI Engineer and Platinum Support, with written SLA guarantees for uptime and support response times on Enterprise-tier accounts.
