Go ahead.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

It's fine.

Coder Radio

If you're let's say you're using like active record, I'll give you the easy example.

Coder Radio

You can use the built in search functionality, but it's literally going to do a string comparison in Postgres or whatever your underlying database is.

For, you know, a burger would be B-U-R-G-E-R, and that's all it's going to do.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

It doesn't understand.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

Like, burger means bread, meat, maybe some lettuce, right?

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

What vectorizing it and what Quadrant's doing, what Brian's trying to explain, I think very well, actually, is...

Coder Radio

You assign a mathematical value to the concept of hamburger that and that value would also be nearer to the concept of, let's say, I don't know, steak sandwich, French dip, something like that.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

Right.

Then in terms of quantifiable value, be closer to those than it would be to, let's say, sushi or, you know, martini.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

Right.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

Is that fair, Brian?

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

I know I'm, like, way boiling it down.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

Mm-hmm.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

That's perfect.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

And it's like a visual example for folks, right?

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

And by the way, great name for your company, Quadrant.

Coder Radio
641: Qdrant's Brian O'Grady

You've got it perfectly.
