Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Pilot the GA service for document search; expand after testing your corpus and the October 1 configuration.

Why: Independent text-search tests demonstrate useful retrieval alongside variable relevance and slow indexing. Earlier tests do not cover the newly introduced native image and OCR features.
Next: Measure retrieval quality, complete-content ingestion, indexing delays and usage costs with your selected hybrid-search and OCR settings before production rollout.

Constraints

The new native image and OCR features require application-specific validation.
One independent test took 40.1 hours to index 57,638 documents.
Retrieval quality varies by corpus and query specificity.
Progressively rendered websites may require structured ingestion to capture complete content.
Billing is scheduled to begin November 1; account for ingestion, storage, queries and separately billed generation.
