Overview

A next-gen search experience

Tallyfy Answers is a complete, high-performance search product that integrates:

• Vector database indexing for documents
• User-friendly search interface
• LLM (GPT) generated responses within search results

Neural search is integrated into the overall search experience, not offered as a separate feature.

Tallyfy Answers provides an alternative to search vendors like Elasticsearch, Algolia, Typesense, and Meilisearch with enhanced capabilities at competitive pricing.

Important distinction

Tallyfy Answers differs from traditional search engines like Google or Bing. Rather than crawling websites, Answers allows you to push your JSON-formatted data into the system. This enables your users to search through your specific data using a search interface on your site or app.
