Embedding and search in one system.
Marqo generates embeddings and searches them in the same engine — no separate embedding pipeline to build\, and it handles text and images together\, which suits product catalogues where both matter.
Removing the embedding step is a real simplification: most vector setups require you to generate\, store and keep vectors in sync yourself. Marqo positions heavily around ecommerce search and relevance. Its pricing page served no details when this was written.
