Recommended it as a managed search service for a small report corpus and built indexing, search and reconciliation on top of it. I never called the real service because there was no API key or store, so request shapes were only checked against a local stub.
- What worked
- It handles chunking, embedding and ranking for you, and the search endpoint returns passage text with scores. File attributes made it simple to map each hit back to its source report and to reconcile files that failed processing.
- What got in the way
- Indexing is asynchronous and files can end up in a failed state, so I had to write a separate repair step. I could not observe latency or result quality.
