Hybrid retrieval API for AI applicationsEnterprise-Grade Retrieval APIs for AI Applications

Inteleto exposes its retrieval layer as an API: hybrid vector and BM25 search fused into one ranking, permission-aware at query time, returning ranked chunks with the metadata needed to cite them. You supply the model; the API supplies the evidence.

Use production-ready APIs for ingestion, hybrid search, reranking, citations, and grounded retrieval over private or public knowledge sources. Build reliable AI products without reinventing retrieval.

The retrieval infrastructure serious AI teams rely on

API Playground

Interactive API explorer to test retrieval queries, tune parameters, and inspect results — directly in the browser. No local setup required to evaluate quality.

Hybrid Search

Combine dense vector search with sparse BM25 retrieval using Reciprocal Rank Fusion. Get the precision of keyword search and the recall of semantic search in one request.

Flexible Chunking

Configure chunking strategy per document type — fixed-size, semantic, hierarchical, or custom. Fine-tune overlap, max tokens, and metadata extraction per ingestion pipeline.

Citation-Aware Responses

Every generated response includes structured citations with document ID, chunk ID, page number, and confidence score. Parse and display citations however your UI requires.

Pipeline Visualization

Debug retrieval pipelines visually. See which chunks were retrieved, how they were reranked, and exactly which text was used to generate each part of the response.

Multi-Language SDKs

Official SDKs for Python, TypeScript, Go, and Java. Full type safety, async support, streaming responses, and comprehensive examples for every retrieval pattern.

Frequently asked questions

What does a query return?
Ranked chunks with source document, version, page and section, plus the scores from each retrieval method. That is enough to build citations without a second lookup.
Why hybrid rather than pure vector search?
Vector search misses exact identifiers — clause numbers, part codes, error strings — that keyword search finds reliably. Fusing both rankings recovers the cases either one alone would drop.
Can we enforce our own access rules?
Yes. Permissions are evaluated at query time against the calling identity, so restricted chunks are never returned rather than being filtered downstream.
