Semantic search

Semantic search is search that matches the meaning and intent of a query rather than only its exact words, typically by comparing embeddings, so relevant results can appear even without shared keywords.

Semantic search sits in the Retrieval & memory part of the Agentik {OS} glossary, which defines the words used to build and run AI agent systems.
