01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Trieve was an AI-native search and discovery infrastructure platform for developers. It combined full-text, semantic and hybrid search with built-in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) behind a single API, handling chunking, embeddings, vector storage, re-ranking, recommendations and analytics so teams could ship production search and conversational AI features without managing vector databases or embedding models. It offered e-commerce discovery, site search, a robust developer API, self-hosting options via Terraform templates, and SOC2 Type 2 and HIPAA compliance.
