Semantic search and RAG tools enable developers and knowledge workers to index, retrieve, and surface unstructured data using vector embeddings and contextual relevance. Teams implement these platforms to power local file discovery, code exploration, and context-rich retrieval for autonomous AI agents. Unlike standard keyword search engines or raw database storage, these tools focus on understanding user intent and preparing relevant context specifically for generative models.
