Introduction

Vecta is a RAG evaluation platform that helps you ship reliable AI systems. Test retrieval quality, catch hallucinations, and track performance over time.

Why Vecta?

Before Vecta:

  • No way to know if your RAG system actually works
  • Hallucinations discovered by users in production
  • Can't tell if code changes improve or break retrieval

With Vecta:

  • Automated benchmarks tailored to your data
  • Precision/Recall/F1 scores for retrieval quality
  • Accuracy and groundedness metrics for generation
  • Track performance over time

Key Features

Granular Metrics

  • Chunk-level: Did you retrieve the right paragraphs?
  • Page-level: Did you find the right pages?
  • Document-level: Did you find the right documents?

Three Evaluation Types

  • Retrieval Only: Test search quality
  • Generation Only: Test LLM responses
  • Retrieval + Generation: Test your complete pipeline

Universal Compatibility

  • Works with any vector database
  • Flexible schema configuration
  • Pre-built connectors for popular databases
Three-panel visualization of chunk, page, and document-level evaluation coverage

Figure: Vecta tracks retrieval and generation quality at every semantic level so you can pinpoint regressions fast.
