Vector Databases

Category: Emerging Concepts

Definition

Vector databases store and search AI embeddings to find similar content quickly.

How It Works

Regular databases store text and numbers. Vector databases store embeddings - the number lists that represent words, images, or documents in AI systems.

When you search, it finds items with similar embeddings, which means similar meaning or content.

Why It Matters

Vector databases power AI search and recommendation systems. They let AI find relevant information from large collections without exact keyword matches.

They're behind features like "find similar products" or AI assistants that search your documents.
