Vectara Launches 2 Powerful New Generative Capabilities
Blog post from Vectara
Vectara has introduced new features that enhance the versatility and functionality of its platform by allowing developers to define generative responses in structured formats like Markdown and HTML, which include integrated references and metadata for easier client-side parsing and reduced errors. This development enables Vectara to provide responses with document titles, page numbers, document IDs, and URLs directly cited, using new citation formats with custom parameters. Additionally, Vectara launched a semantic search capability for conversation histories, which allows for the detection of unexpected user queries and emotional language without needing predefined rules. These advancements improve the integration process and enhance the capability of developers and GenAI chat administrators to create more interactive and informative applications, reflecting Vectara's dedication to its developer community and setting a new benchmark for usability in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
