Having tried this a bit I do really like the single api call for all of it.
I also appreciate transparent pricing but I am not 100% sure the sense of scale of costs. It could be helpful to give some ballparks on things for each of the plans. I'm not sure exactly what i could get out of a plan. My guess, trying hard to figure it out, was if i had about 1,000 pages of new/updated content per month, I would pay $295/month for unlimited queries on top of it. Is that roughly correct?
Yes, we don't charge for queries. For $295, you're able to index up to 1000 pages of new content per month into a fully queryable pipeline.
Advanced and Basic do play a difference though. Advanced is for complex graphics or charts in the documents submitted. Basic is sufficient for most document workloads.
Good looking! I didn't get to watch the video or look at docs in depth, but do the results trace back to the location of the answers in a document? Let's say it finds an answer in a PDF, and I'd like to know where in that PDF the citation is. Is that possible or intended?
This is an interesting product, thanks for sharing. Can you elaborate on some of your competitors in this landscape and what you might do differently compared to each one?
Thanks! The largest alternative to Captain is folks trying to build file search themselves. As mentioned in the post, it is a lot to manage.
The most similar product I've seen is Vertex File Search. They're hosted inside of GCP which can fit nicely into existing cloud deployments. Captain indexes from more sources (like R2 for example) and anecdotally provides faster indexing.
