AI Pipelines Automated from Ingest to Inference, Instantly

VAST InsightEngine is a framework in the VAST AI Operating System for building, managing, and automating real-time AI pipelines. Built on the VAST DataEngine, InsightEngine uses event-driven triggers and serverless functions to process data the moment it lands, enabling automated chunking, embedding, and storing it in the VAST DataBase’s native vector store. These in-place, automated workflows eliminate traditional data movement and latency between data creation and AI inference, enabling continuous, real-time applications like semantic search, RAG, summarization, classification, and anomaly detection—all with unified governance and full observability.

InsightEngine is part of the VAST AI Operating System, the unified platform where all enterprise data—structured, unstructured, and vector—lives and operates together. Built on the VAST DataEngine, InsightEngine automates the entire AI workflow from ingest to inference using an event-driven architecture with serverless triggers and functions that run directly on your data. Unlike traditional platforms that depend on external orchestration and constant data movement between systems, InsightEngine processes everything in place, and storing/ retrieving vectors from the VAST DataBase’s native vector store. The result: real-time performance, unified governance, and frictionless AI at enterprise scale.

InsightEngine provides unified security and governance by seamlessly integrating file system permissions with vector search capabilities. Because VAST combines DataStore and DataBase in a single platform, it ensures users can only retrieve and interact with vectors derived from data they're explicitly authorized to access. Fine-grained access controls are enforced in real time across both raw and vectorized data, maintaining strict security and compliance throughout the entire AI pipeline from source to inference—something no other solution can deliver.

Yes. With InsightEngine, users can build real-time AI pipelines that process both document and video data at enterprise scale. Built on VAST’s DASE architecture, the framework supports exabyte-scale performance and integrates with inference microservices and models—including NVIDIA NIMs—to enable use cases such as intelligent document search, summarization, or video understanding. Because all data lives within the VAST AI Operating System, including structured, unstructured, and vector data, InsightEngine can automate ingest, embedding, retrieval, and inference without data movement or performance loss—delivering continuous, scalable AI workflows tailored to your needs.
