Key Features
- Hybrid retrieval pipeline design: mix BM25 sparse vectors dense vectors and reranking so top results balance lexical match and semantic intent at query time
- Embeddings ingestion at scale: index vectors with HNSW graphs and filters so searches remain fast while honoring document level permissions and facets
- Grounding for LLM answers: retrieve cites and snippets from the same index so assistants answer with evidence and limit hallucinations in production
- Observability and analytics: track clicks zero results and query classes then tune synonyms boosts and rules to improve conversion and case deflection
- Elastic Cloud resilience: autoscaling snapshots and security templates reduce ops toil while serverless options smooth costs for bursty workloads
- Enterprise controls and SSO: namespace data by tenant apply document level security and integrate identity providers for regulated environments
- Natural language to SQL: Ask questions in plain language and get generated SQL you can inspect run and troubleshoot for trust
- Text to chart: Generate charts from questions so non technical users can explore trends without building dashboards manually
- Semantic modeling layer: Define business concepts and metrics so queries map to correct tables with far less ambiguity in production
- Database connectivity: Connect your own databases so answers come from governed data instead of public web content at work
- Governance controls: Use projects members and access rules to keep models and datasets scoped for teams and environments
- API management option: Essential plan highlights API management so you can embed GenBI into internal apps and workflows securely
Use Cases
- In app search for SaaS where users need instant results with synonyms filters and typos handled without leaving the product experience for support
- Help center and agent assist where hybrid retrieval powers self help and grounds suggested replies to reduce case volume and increase first contact resolution
- Ecommerce and catalog search where vectors improve discovery for vague queries while filters and facets preserve precision for power shoppers and ops
- Data portals and documentation search where devs index code examples guides and API refs then measure click quality and tune queries over time
- Internal knowledge bases where permissions and tenants matter and teams need audit trails while keeping latency low under bursty traffic
- Site wide search consolidation where one index powers web mobile and docs with shared analytics and query rules for consistency across channels
- Self serve analytics: Let business users ask revenue and funnel questions in plain language while analysts review generated SQL
- Metric consistency: Use a semantic layer so common metrics like active users map to one definition across teams and reports
- SQL assist for analysts: Speed up query drafting then edit generated SQL to match edge cases and performance constraints
- Chart exploration: Generate quick charts for ad hoc questions then decide whether to build a permanent dashboard later now
- Embedded BI: Use API management to bring natural language querying into internal tools for support and ops teams safely today
- Data onboarding: Connect a new database and model key tables so stakeholders can explore data without learning schema names
