         | Hi! It is a metered post atm, will consider making it more

       | TL;DR - They store vector embeddings and index them for efficient
       | nearest-neighbor retrieval. Some also allow CRUD operations,
       | metadata filtering, fault-tolerance, and all that jazz. Useful
       | for things like semantic search, similarity search (of
       | unstructured data), and recommender systems.
