Embeddings

In one sentenceA way of turning text into numbers that capture its meaning, so software can find things that are similar in meaning, not just matching words.

What it means

An embedding converts a sentence or document into a long list of numbers. Texts with similar meanings end up with similar numbers. "How do I cancel?" and "I want to end my subscription" land close together even though they share no words.

Embeddings power Semantic Search, recommendations and RAG.

How to use it

• You will rarely create embeddings by hand. They matter when choosing or building AI search for your own content.
