## TL;DR

Trieve offers source available all-in-one infrastructure for entire search teams. Engineers implement a pipeline that connects their data source to our backend then non-technical staff are able to fine-tune relevance using included frontends.

Customers have the option to either use the managed cloud version of the software suite or buy a license to host it themselves in their own cloud or on-premise. We want to power every search bar on the internet. 

## Problem: Engineering bandwidth is a bottleneck for improving retrieval quality

1. **Engineers first have to build API's on top of db's and AI models** which then need to be maintained, scaled, and improved. 
2. **Engineers then need to build UI's for tuning** which then need to be maintained, scaled, and improved. 
3. **Improving retrieval quality requires hiring more engineers** such that you have enough bandwidth to both maintain and improve your custom and complex infrastructure. 
4. **Ineffective spend of your search budget** as you have to hire engineers to build and maintain things before you can even start adjusting retrieval quality. 

## Solution: All-in-one search infrastructure suite 

Trieve provides a complete infrastructure suite that is both **easy for a single engineer to integrate** and allows businesses to hire more non-technical staff who can use the included **front-end tools for fine-tuning relevance**. 

With Trieve's solution, businesses are able to get more value out of their search budget whether it's $10k or $10M. 

## About Us

Denzell and I (Nick) are software engineers who walked into this problem trying to build semantic search for a knowledge management system that helped business teams argue better.

When we went to go sell the arguing app we found out that the underlying search infrastructure was what people really wanted to buy.
