Building AI Apps with
Slab Data: Vector Search
for Smarter Insights
Making Slab data AI-ready and accessible for smarter apps by seamlessly connecting Slab, Zilliz Cloud, and fivetran.
What is Slab and What's Its Data Like?
Slab is a knowledge management platform that helps teams organize, collaborate, and share information seamlessly. It processes structured data like document hierarchies and user permissions, alongside unstructured data including text documents and integration data. Slab enhances team productivity by providing a unified workspace for documentation, reducing information silos, and ensuring that valuable insights and company knowledge are accessible and up-to-date.
Challenges for Building AI Apps with Slab Data
Unstructured Data
Much of Slab’s data is unstructured and multimodal. Standard database queries struggle with such text-heavy information, making it difficult to unlock its full potential.
Data Silos
Slab data often exists in isolation, making it challenging to integrate with other enterprise systems or data sources.
Scalability
Massive amounts of user interactions are logged daily, and processing and querying this data in real time requires robust infrastructure, especially when building AI-driven applications.
Personalization
AI apps require deep insights into customer behavior to offer personalized experiences. However, standard searches and SQL queries don’t adequately surface the relationships and similarities hidden in Slab data.
Fueling Slab AI Apps with Vector Search for Smarter Insights
Making Unstructured Data Searchable
Vector search enables AI to explore unstructured Slab data like text and images by comparing the meaning and context of each data point. This allows your AI apps to uncover actionable insights that were previously buried in complex records.
Going Beyond Keywords with Semantic Search
With vector similarity search, your AI apps are no longer limited to basic keyword matching. Vector search solutions like Zilliz Cloud perform deep, context-aware searches, identifying patterns and similarities across Slab data that traditional methods can’t reach.
Uncovering Hidden Relationships
Vector search finds subtle trends and connections within unstructured data. By identifying these hidden patterns, your AI apps generate more accurate predictions, smarter recommendations, and better overall results.
Scalability for Real-Time AI
Designed for speed and scale, vector search engines like Zilliz Cloud can process massive Slab datasets in real-time. Whether it’s handling billions of records or delivering instantaneous insights, vector search ensures your AI applications can perform at peak efficiency.
