Vector databases for semantic search and retrieval, natural-language-to-SQL tools, and AI notebooks and spreadsheets for querying data, aimed at developers and analysts.
Two kinds of user arrive here. Developers building retrieval into an AI application need somewhere to store embeddings and filter them quickly. Analysts and managers want to ask a database a question in plain language and get rows back without writing SQL. The category serves both, along with notebook and spreadsheet tools that generate the Python or SQL for you.
Milvus and Chroma are vector databases for similarity search, with Milvus adding GPU acceleration. Pinecone is a managed vector database, while Weaviate is open source and supports hybrid search. Choose by how you will host the store and how much metadata filtering you need.
AI2SQL turns natural-language questions into SQL for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle and others, and Bagel AI accepts questions in English or Arabic. Hex takes a notebook route: you write SQL, analyse with Python and share the result with your team.
