Introduction to Vectense Platform

Vectense Platform is a comprehensive AI automation platform designed to help organizations create intelligent workflows that combine artificial intelligence, knowledge management, and business process automation.

Overview​

The platform enables users to build sophisticated automation workflows that can:

  • Process and understand documents using AI
  • Make intelligent decisions based on context
  • Integrate with existing business systems
  • Execute complex multi-step processes automatically
  • Learn from organizational knowledge bases

Core Concepts​

Workspaces​

Workspaces are isolated environments where teams organize their AI projects, models, knowledge bases, and workflows. Each workspace provides:

  • Separate data isolation
  • User access control
  • Resource management
  • Collaboration features

AI Models​

The platform supports multiple AI model providers:

  • OpenAI: Commercial AI models like GPT-4
  • Anthropic: Claude models for advanced reasoning
  • Mistral: Efficient and cost-effective models
  • Ollama: Self-hosted models for privacy and control

Knowledge Bases​

Knowledge bases provide context and information to AI models through:

  • File Uploads: Documents (PDF, Word, Excel, text files)
  • Web Content: Crawled and indexed web pages
  • Local Filesystems: Direct access to file systems
  • Vector Storage: Efficient similarity-based retrieval

Workflows​

Workflows are the heart of the platform, consisting of:

  • Triggers: Events that start workflow execution
  • Steps: Sequential actions that process data
  • Conditions: Logic that controls workflow flow
  • Integration: Connections to external systems

Simple Workflow Example​

What happens: Something triggers your workflow to start
⬇️
Your Actions: The workflow performs the steps you defined
⬇️
Result: Your task is completed automatically

Example Workflow:

  1. ⚡ Trigger: New email arrives in your inbox
  2. 🤖 AI Step: Ask AI to read and categorize the email
  3. 📧 Action: Send appropriate response or forward to team member
  4. ✅ Complete: Email is handled without manual work

Common Triggers:

  • ⏰ Scheduled Time: Run at specific times (daily reports, weekly summaries)
  • 📨 New Email: React to incoming messages
  • 📁 File Added: Process new documents automatically
  • 📋 Data Changes: Update systems when information changes

With Vectense Platform, you simply define what should happen when something occurs - no complex charts or programming needed.
