What use cases is Tallyfy Answers best suited for?

Tallyfy Answers excels in these specific scenarios:

  1. Content-rich applications - Find answers buried in thousands of documents using natural language
  2. Customer support knowledge bases - Users ask questions conversationally and get direct answers
  3. Product catalogs - Search by features, benefits, or use cases (not just product names)
  4. Documentation sites - Developers find code examples and explanations instantly
  5. E-commerce platforms - Shoppers describe what they want in their own words

Traditional search engines match keywords but miss the actual meaning behind queries. A user searching “how to reduce monthly costs” won’t find an article titled “Budget optimization strategies” with keyword search alone.

Tallyfy Answers understands both explicit keywords and implicit meaning. Your users find what they need - even when they don’t know the exact terms to search for.

Answers > Search

Tallyfy Answers search enables users to find specific objects within collections using natural language queries or specific terms through a query-based operation system.

Answers > Collections

Tallyfy Answers collections are organizational structures that function like database tables to group related objects together while providing dynamic schema detection searchability and complete management capabilities for efficient data organization and retrieval.

Search > Find similar objects

Tallyfy Answers provides a recommendation endpoint that uses vector embeddings to find objects similar to a specified reference object by comparing semantic similarity and ranking results by distance scores.
