Vectara Conversational Search Demo

Vectara Conversational Search Demo is a sample web app that shows how conversational search can work across news and other datasets. Instead of returning a list of links, it answers questions in natural language with context-aware responses.

Conversational news search

Use the demo to ask about current events and trending topics, such as AI regulation and the EU AI Act, the US economy, or the Oscars.

You can also narrow results by major outlets, including:

• CNN
• CNBC
• NPR
• FOX
• BBC
• Other sources available in the demo

What it demonstrates

The app is a practical example of Vectara’s semantic and conversational search capabilities, showing how the system interprets phrasing, tracks context, and returns relevant answers.

Applying it to your own data

While this is a demo, the same approach can be used for internal content such as documentation, knowledge bases, and archives. Vectara offers a free trial so teams can quickly test an integration and evaluate answer quality on their own data.
