Why Vector Engine for OpenSearch Serverless?

The Vector Engine for Amazon OpenSearch Serverless introduces a simple, scalable, and high-performing vector storage and search capability that helps developers build machine learning (ML)–augmented search experiences and generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications without having to manage the vector database infrastructure. Get contextually relevant responses across billions of vectors in milliseconds by querying vector embeddings, which can be combined with text-based keywords in a single hybrid request.

With a fully-managed Retreival Augmented Generation (RAG) offered by Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock, you can securely connect foundation models (FMs) to your company data stored as embeddings in the vector engine for more relevant, context-specific, and accurate responses without continuously retraining the FM.

Benefits

Colocate your vector and text search to easily query embeddings, metadata, and descriptive text within a single call, increasing search accuracy and reducing system complexity.
Elevate your customer experiences with highly relevant and accurate responses generated by search results based on vector embeddings trained on your business data.
Add, update, and delete vector embeddings in near real time without impacting query performance or re-indexing data.
Store and search billions of vector embeddings with thousands of dimensions in milliseconds with the simplicity of a highly performant and easy-to-use serverless environment.

Use cases

Anticipate your customers' needs and provide personalized search experiences geared toward their interests.
Improve your decision-making process with object recognition and analysis.
Provide interactive responses and assistance to better support your customers, powered by RAG.
Identify and prevent suspicious activity or transactions through efficient comparisons of similar past fraudulent events.

riskCanvas customer review

riskCanvas is a subsidiary of Genpact. It is a SaaS product offering for a financial crime compliance solution that uses cutting-edge big data, automation, and machine learning technologies to deliver compliance, efficiency, and automation to its clients.

"riskCanvas directly integrates with the vector engine for Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, allowing us to expose our existing client operational data through AWS’s generative AI capabilities. This is a game changer, as we can now leverage summarization to accelerate the analysis of investigations, author seed narratives of financial crimes reporting, and make recommendations on escalations—all while using real data kept contained within the riskCanvas secure enclave. With the vector engine, we are reducing handle time across financial crimes use cases, improving consistency of narratives with fewer errors, driving higher efficacy via straight-through processing, and shifting human involvement to deeper analysis."
