Introduction
What Valori is, and what you'll build with it.
Valori is a vector database, reachable as a managed Cloud service or self-hosted. Cloud projects give you a REST API and two official SDKs — Python and TypeScript — for storing, indexing, and searching vectors, authenticated with a single project-scoped API key.
What you can build
- Semantic search over documents, support tickets, or product catalogs
- Retrieval for RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) pipelines
- Recommendation and similarity systems
The core model
A collection holds vectors of a fixed dimension and distance metric. Each record in a collection is one vector, with optional metadata and text. Search finds the nearest records to a query vector. See Core concepts for the full picture.
