Talk to STOAMilvus is best for small businesses that are building AI-powered apps and have a developer on staff who can set things up and maintain it. The biggest plus is that it's free to self-host and handles AI search tasks really well. The catch is that this is a technical infrastructure tool — if you don't have someone comfortable with databases and code, it will feel overwhelming fast.
