Clever idea, good work!

You asked for feedback: I see opportunities for you to nail the basics, by focusing on the value proposition so business-oriented people understand why/how to buy, and on the the middle-tier architecture so technical people understand that you're akin to OpenSearch with Faiss & vectors that auto-update.

My understanding (and please clarify as you wish) of what I've read on your site is this: you're selling the hosted version for enterprises at a price to be discussed with your sales team, and the architecture is something like this...

  ┌──────────────┐    ┌───────────────┐    ┌──────────────┐
  │Search SDK    │    │Search Engine  │    │Data Source   │
  │• Typescript  │    │• OpenSearch   │    │• Postgres    │
  │• Python      │    │• Faiss, KNN   │    │• MySQL (?)   │
