# Hindsight Sets a New Standard: #1 on the BEAM Benchmark

You have the data. You have the models.

Now you can build an AI assistant that’s grounded, secure, and usable — without building a frontend, wiring up auth, or building feedback loops.

Today we’re kicking off Launch Week with the **Vectorize Chat App**: a production-ready, hosted application for AI chat.

## Why We Built the Chat App

It’s easy to spin up a prototype chat assistant.

It’s hard to build one that:

- Understands your actual documents
- Runs securely inside your organization
- Handles real usage from internal or external users
- Evolves over time without constant rebuilds

Most teams end up stitching together frontends, prompts, auth layers, logs, analytics, and feedback loops — just to get something stable enough to share.

## The Vectorize Chat App skips all that.

Instead of building infrastructure, you configure it.

With the Chat App, you can go from pipeline → model → hosted assistant in minutes — with all the hard parts already handled.

## What You Get

Here’s what a Chat App includes, out of the box:

- **Hosted at your domain** – run your assistant on a URL you control
- **Built-in multi-model switching** – let users choose from multiple models
- **Tool execution grounded in your data** – integrate with pipelines directly
- **Real-time feedback capture** – collect input as people use the app
- **Admin dashboard for full control** – manage prompts, users, and analytics
- **Optional voice input, file uploads, SSO** – enable richer interactions and secure access
- **Role-based access with full user management** – keep usage safe and organized

You can build:

- A secure internal knowledge assistant
- A public-facing help portal
- A research assistant powered by multiple models
- A customer support AI with escalation paths

## How It Works

The Chat App is powered by your pipelines, connected models, and prompt configuration.

- You choose which models are available
- You define how the agent behaves
- You can preview and test before sharing with users

No redeploys. No code. Just launch, test, and iterate.
