Overview
Description
Weaviate is an open-source vector database that lets you build AI applications like semantic search, RAG, and recommendations from a single platform without stitching together separate tools. You get production-grade reliability, built-in multi-tenancy, and cost-efficient scaling out of the box. The bottom line: faster development cycles and simpler operations for teams shipping AI-powered products.
