It was clear and easy to understand. Provide a good understanding of what a Vector database really!
By Priyam Keswani on 1/7/2026
All critical concepts , may be basic for some, were explained by setting context before jumping to their definition
By Andrew Sandrini Vaz on 10/20/2025
Very good to understand better thr role of vector databases in AI and how they work. This oiurse was very eye-opening for me and I believe it's a must for anyone that wants to work in this area. The explanations are clear and easy to understand.
By David Truxall on 5/13/2025
This is a very good overview course. The explanations are clear, the diagrams are good. I feel I have a good grip on Vector search and the components necessary. I would have liked more in-depth information around embedding models, but that does not detract from the goal of the course.
By Vinod on 1/17/2025
What i found interesting about this course is that how the author gracefully explains concepts and connection between them with easy explanation which reduced the strain of understanding the concepts for me.
