For simplicity, they are divided up in following categories.
| BUILD | BUY |
|---|---|
| DevTools to use when building | Ready-made products to buy |
| LLMs | RAGaaS |
| Frameworks | Enterprise Search |
| Memory Layers | Enterprise Search on top of LLMs |
| Vector Databases | |
| Graph Databases |
Let's dive in.

RAGaaS​
RAGaaS or RAG-as-a-Service are horizontal equivalents to vertical semantic search and unstructured data transformation companies. They offer the ability to query unstructured data sources like PDFs, extract data, and input results into a more structured database or system of record.
Enterprise Search​
Enterprise Search companies offer an end to end solution. They offer semantic querying for indexing and retrieving conceptually relevant documents in order to better manage organization-wide knowledge and break down enterprise data silos. It's a black box product. Take it or leave it based on what they built and envisaged.
Enterprise Search on top of LLMs​
In a classic sense, LLMs are standalone B2C products for Q&A to consumers. But, some have added on more capable and serious RAG offerings on top of their basic B2C products.
