Products, side by side

Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked

Elastic

Application

Elastic AI SOC EngineApplication

An AI security-operations layer that correlates alerts from a customer's existing security tools, prioritizes threats and guides response workflows without replacing their SIEM.

Elastic AIOpsApplication

GenAI- and ML-driven capability inside Elastic Observability that automatically detects, diagnoses and helps resolve operational issues, providing recommended actions for SREs.

Elastic LLM ObservabilityApplication

Monitoring capability inside Elastic Observability for generative-AI and agentic applications: performance, cost control, guardrail tracking and reliability for GenAI workloads.

Elastic SecurityApplication

Agentic security-operations platform unifying SIEM, XDR and native automation, with autonomous agents handling detection-to-response workflows and purpose-built AI skills for threat hunting, alert analysis and detection engineering; supports multiple LLMs including on-premises models.

Platform

Elastic AI AssistantPlatform

A conversational assistant embedded in Kibana that answers natural-language questions against a customer's own indexed data across Elastic's Observability, Security and Search solutions.

Model API

Elastic Inference ServiceModel API

Hosted inference endpoint that runs Elastic-managed LLMs, the ELSER sparse-embedding model and third-party embedding models for ingest, search and chat without provisioning ML nodes in a customer's own Elasticsearch deployment.

Huawei Cloud

Application

MetaStudioApplication

Digital-content creation platform that generates lifelike virtual-human avatars speaking/acting from a script and audio, using voice activity detection, NLP and intelligent choreography.

Platform

EIHealthPlatform

Huawei Cloud's biomedical AI platform covering genomic sequencing analysis, AI-assisted drug discovery and medical image annotation and AI-assisted diagnosis.

Huawei HiLensPlatform

Multimodal AI development platform for building and managing device-cloud AI applications, with a console and an AI skill market.
