RAG Without the Hassle: Building AI-Powered Applications
summary
Claims a single multimodel database can replace OLTP, OLAP and a separate vector store by running one hybrid SQL that merges vector, spatial and scalar filters, tested on a coffee-shop Q&A example that otherwise needed three different engines. Uses HNSW-style search plus product/rapid quantization to cut vector RAM from ~1.2–2 TB to 58 GB (≈95% reduction) in experiments. Exposes results via simple APIs for Q&A and recommendations and reports production-friendly consistency, scaling and no ETL latency.
