AMA — We’re the Meilisearch team! Meilisearch AI is now generally available

Hello everyone 👋

It’s been a while since I posted on this beloved subreddit. We were working hard on stabilizing and making AI generally available 🚀. As a reminder, I am one of the co-founders and CTO of Meilisearch, a superfast search engine for developers built in Rust.

You’ve probably seen the many posts on our blogs, especially about arroy, our Vector Store, or Meilisearch v1.12 and v1.13 with a revamped document indexer.

What is Meilisearch AI?

• Semantic search – Understands search intent, not just keywords.
• Hybrid search – Combines full-text search with AI-powered vector search.
• Multi-modal capabilities – Supports image search and beyond.
• Built-in vector database – No separate infrastructure is needed.
• Optimized for performance – Lightning-fast results with sub-50ms latency.

The landing search engine is showing great movie results

We’ve spent months stabilizing AI-powered search and refining our API based on closed beta and community feedback. Now, I am here to answer all your questions—from how we built it in Rust to how you can integrate it into your projects.
