The market, and why this works now
Most businesses underestimate the potential of vector databases for real-time analytics. With the rise of open-source solutions like Faiss, companies can implement powerful data retrieval systems without hefty licensing fees. A viable first-revenue move is to target users on r/dataisbeautiful, offering a freemium model that converts data visualization enthusiasts into paying customers through advanced querying features.
