Why SearchAnything?
Building a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline or a search feature usually involves stitching together:- OCR Service (e.g., Tesseract, AWS Textract)
- Transcription Service (e.g., Whisper, Deepgram)
- Vector Database (e.g., Pinecone, Milvus)
- Embedding Model (e.g., OpenAI, Cohere)
