Supavec is an open-source RAG-as-a-Service platform (an alternative to Carbon.ai) that lets developers upload documents, generate embeddings, and query them via a simple REST API with streaming chat responses. It is built with Next.js, Supabase, and Bun, supports multi-tenant isolation via row-level security, and can be self-hosted or used via its hosted cloud version.

Use cases

• add document-based RAG search to my app via an API
• build a chatbot that answers questions from my own documents
• self-host a RAG pipeline for internal knowledge base Q&A
• embed and search PDFs, docs, and support tickets with citations
• build a customer support copilot over Zendesk/Notion/Confluence docs
• add an AI-powered search bar over my documentation site
• analyze sales call transcripts with AI and get cited answers

When to choose

• you want a hosted-style RAG API you can also self-host with full source access
• you need multi-tenant document ingestion with team-level data isolation
• you want quick setup with REST endpoints for upload, embedding, search, and chat
• you need streaming chat responses and batch embedding to cut costs

When to avoid

• you need a fully managed enterprise RAG platform with SLAs and on-prem support contracts
• you want a no-code tool rather than an API-first developer product
• you need heavy ETL over hundreds of exotic data source connectors out of the box
• you require non-Postgres vector stores or custom embedding pipelines
