The first CMS built for RAG

Payload is the only CMS that puts retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) on easy mode, giving you complete control over how your content is chunked and converted into vector embeddings.

How it works

Payload enables RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) by adding vector indexes directly into your existing database. You control every step of the process, from converting your document from JSON to text to defining the chunking strategy. Payload just makes it easy.

    Step 1

    When you save a document, Payload executes your chunking strategy, breaking the document into semantic chunks.

    Chunk using whichever method is appropriate for your content. You are in full control.

    AI groups your content into meaningful pieces
    Step 2

    Based on the AI adapter you're using, Payload then creates vector embeddings for each chunk and stores them directly in your database. No additional database needed.

    Step 3

    Your database now contains vector embeddings created from your content, and they are automatically kept in sync as your content changes.

ENTERPRISE SECURITY

Deliver the right content to the right users with access control

After vectorizing your data, Payload’s elegant user-by-user access control customizes content delivery based on permissions.


The LLM will only retrieve the specific content allowed for each user, ensuring that security and accuracy are never compromised.
