Application
An LLM-based application that analyzes security alerts, identifies potential attacks, and groups related alerts into attack narratives.
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.
GenAI- and ML-driven capability inside Elastic Observability that automatically detects, diagnoses and helps resolve operational issues, providing recommended actions for SREs.
Monitoring capability inside Elastic Observability for generative-AI and agentic applications: performance, cost control, guardrail tracking and reliability for GenAI workloads.
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.
Agent platform
A builder for custom AI agents that answer questions and take actions over data indexed in Elasticsearch, using configurable tools, skills and prompts.
An automation engine that runs both scripted steps and AI agents which reason through investigations and execute response actions against data in Elasticsearch.
Platform
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.
Uses machine learning to identify anomalies before they become incidents.
Infrastructure service
Distills source data into context for retrieval by agents and applications.
Model 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.
Weaviate sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Elastic yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
API service
A managed service that extracts and stores searchable memories for AI agents and applications.
Open-source vector database and its managed Weaviate Cloud, with a Query Agent, an embeddings service and multi-tenancy.
A managed inference service that generates vector embeddings for data and queries in Weaviate Cloud.
AI agent
An agent that searches a Weaviate Cloud database using natural-language questions.
