Building GenAI Enterprise Applications with Vectara and Datavolo
Blog post from Vectara
The integration of Datavolo and Vectara aims to enhance Generative AI (GenAI) applications by using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to provide rich, contextually grounded answers to complex questions. Datavolo, powered by Apache NiFi, is designed for continuous, event-driven data ingestion and transformation, making it easier to handle both structured and unstructured data. It leverages a managed cloud-native architecture with AI-specific capabilities to streamline the creation of large language model (LLM) applications. Vectara, a serverless platform, complements this by embedding generative AI functionalities into apps, ensuring enterprise-grade features such as explainability and access control. The integration showcases how these tools can be used to process and index data from sources like Google Drive and Slack, enhancing user search experiences with precise metadata and custom dimensions. Vectara's unique approach allows the tuning of search results and supports advanced query capabilities for applications like chatbots, offering a seamless user interface experience. This collaboration highlights the potential for building scalable and trustworthy GenAI apps that address critical enterprise needs, such as reducing hallucinations and ensuring data provenance.
