Vectara

What it does

Vectara is an enterprise agent platform that ingests multimodal business data such as PDFs, spreadsheets, images, logs, tickets, wikis and email, then turns it into retrievable context for AI agents. It combines hybrid retrieval, re-ranking, hallucination detection and evaluation, and grounded generation, with answers traceable back to their sources.

Teams use it to build search, chat and agent workflows over governed data. It offers managed out-of-the-box apps for specific use cases and an agent harness with skills, tools, MCP and memory. Applications reach it through REST API, MCP and A2A. It can be deployed as SaaS, in a VPC or on-premises, and customers can use the built-in Vectara domain LLM or bring their own model.

It is aimed at enterprises with governed, multi-source data, with semiconductor design, fab, test, packaging and quality teams featured prominently. Published starting prices are $100K per year for SaaS, $250K for VPC and $500K for on-premises, and a 30 day free trial is offered. Buyers should confirm which features each tier includes.
