## What it is
Attu is an AI-native management GUI for the Milvus vector database, available as a web app (Docker/Kubernetes) or desktop app. It lets users browse collections, run vector searches, manage backups, monitor cluster health, and interact with an LLM-powered agent that can execute Milvus operations via natural language.

## Use cases
- manage milvus vector database collections through a gui
- run vector similarity searches against milvus
- backup and restore milvus collections to s3 or local zip
- chat with an ai agent to query and manage milvus schemas
- monitor milvus cluster health and slow requests
- import and export collection data as csv json or parquet
- manage milvus users roles and rbac across clusters

## When to choose
- you administer Milvus or Zilliz Cloud and want a visual management tool
- you need backup/restore, RBAC, and metrics for Milvus in one place
- you want natural-language AI assistance for Milvus operations
- you prefer a Docker-deployable web UI or cross-platform desktop app

## When to avoid
- you use a vector database other than Milvus
- you need fully automated, scriptable administration rather than a GUI
- you require an OSI-approved open-source license (the license is non-standard)
- you run Milvus 2.6.x, which Attu v3 does not support
