You have the data. You have the models.

Now you can build an AI assistant that’s grounded, secure, and usable — without building a frontend, wiring up auth, or building feedback loops.

Today we’re kicking off Launch Week with the Vectorize Chat App: a production-ready, hosted application for AI chat.

Why We Built the Chat App

It’s easy to spin up a prototype chat assistant.

It’s hard to build one that:

  • Understands your actual documents
  • Runs securely inside your organization
  • Handles real usage from internal or external users
  • Evolves over time without constant rebuilds

Most teams end up stitching together frontends, prompts, auth layers, logs, analytics, and feedback loops — just to get something stable enough to share.

The Vectorize Chat App skips all that.

Instead of building infrastructure, you configure it.

With the Chat App, you can go from pipeline → model → hosted assistant in minutes — with all the hard parts already handled.

What You Get

Here’s what a Chat App includes, out of the box:

  • Hosted at your domain – run your assistant on a URL you control
  • Built-in multi-model switching – let users choose from multiple models
  • Tool execution grounded in your data – integrate with pipelines directly
  • Real-time feedback capture – collect input as people use the app
  • Admin dashboard for full control – manage prompts, users, and analytics
  • Optional voice input, file uploads, SSO – enable richer interactions and secure access
  • Role-based access with full user management – keep usage safe and organized

You can build:

  • A secure internal knowledge assistant
  • A public-facing help portal
  • A research assistant powered by multiple models
  • A customer support AI with escalation paths

How It Works

The Chat App is powered by your pipelines, connected models, and prompt configuration.

  • You choose which models are available
  • You define how the agent behaves
  • You can preview and test before sharing with users

No redeploys. No code. Just launch, test, and iterate.
