Aryn's stack is an integrated one-stop shop from data ingestion to conversational APIs, enabling developers to easily build conversational search applications and deploy them to production in days instead of months. It includes OpenSearch, a popular enterprise-grade search engine used by tens of thousands of developers.

These generative AI models need high quality data to produce high quality answers. To enable this, Aryn released Sycamore, a new scalable semantic data preparation system purpose-built for search. As part of the stack, Sycamore uses generative AI to clean, enrich, and capture the meaning of data to enable high quality answers. Aryn's conversational search stack is 100% open source (Apache License v2.0), which gives developers the freedom to customize and build without "vendor lock-in."
