Kailua Labs
Kailua Labs provides a multimodal search API for building discovery experiences across text and media, using natural-language queries and search indexes.
About this tool
Kailua Labs supplies search technology for developers working with mixed collections of content. Its multimodal API is described as supporting text, images, video and audio, giving an application a way to retrieve relevant material beyond a conventional keyword-only interface.
Natural-language queries can include phrases, questions and approximate descriptions. An index remains part of the development workflow, connecting the searchable collection with the application. The practical value depends on the content, retrieval quality and integration requirements of the particular project.
What you can do
Multimodal content search
The API's scope covers several content categories, supporting discovery experiences where the material is not limited to written documents.
Natural-language retrieval
Queries can be expressed as ordinary phrases or questions, providing an alternative to requiring users to know the exact words attached to an item.
Application integration
Index creation and API access give developers components for building a search experience inside a web, mobile or content-management application.
Who is it for?
- Develop a discovery interface for a media library containing more than one type of asset.
- Explore product search that can interpret a customer's descriptive language instead of exact catalog terms.
- Test natural-language retrieval on a selected collection before expanding an application's search functionality.
Before you choose
Evaluate retrieval quality with representative queries, including ambiguous requests and material that should not match.
Review indexing requirements, access controls, data handling and current usage conditions before connecting a production collection.
Frequently asked questions
