Introduction to PGAI and Its Core Features

PGAI is designed to help developers build AI systems on PostgreSQL with a suite of tools that minimize the need for extensive machine learning (ML) knowledge. It comprises three main components: PG Vector Scale for handling large vector workloads efficiently, PGAI for accessing ML models directly within the database, and PGAI Vectorizer which automates the creation and updating of embeddings. The emergence of PGAI was driven by the realization that mere vector search capabilities alone were insufficient, prompting its creators to develop additional functionality that addresses the complexities of dynamic data changes in production environments. This comprehensive approach aims to facilitate the building of AI systems while simplifying the overall development process for users transitioning from traditional database applications.
