Embedding (AI)
A numerical representation of text that captures its semantic meaning. Embeddings power semantic search finding documents that mean the same thing even when the words differ. Used in RAG systems to match queries to relevant knowledge base chunks.
Expert insight
Embeddings from different AI model versions aren't interchangeable, comparing an embedding generated by one model version against embeddings stored from an older version produces meaningless similarity scores. Any workflow using embeddings for search or matching needs to regenerate all stored embeddings whenever the embedding model changes, not just embed new records going forward.
How PURIST uses this
This concept is built into every automation we deploy.
When PURIST builds your automation, Embedding (AI) is not an optional consideration it is part of the production standard. Our workflows are tested against edge cases, monitored 24/7, and built to handle what happens when things don't go as expected.
Every client workflow we deploy in the AI & Agents category is designed with this principle in mind from day one not added as an afterthought.
