Wyrefront vs Elasticsearch
Elasticsearch is a powerful search engine you build on. Wyrefront is a ready-to-use private AI assistant — no engineering project, no query syntax — that understands meaning and answers in plain English with citations.
| Capability | Elasticsearch | Wyrefront |
|---|---|---|
| Searches your business documents | With engineering effort | Yes — built for it |
| Keeps private company data private | Self-managed | Yes — your data stays under your control |
| Source citations to the original file | You build it | Yes — every answer |
| Role-based access control | You build it | Yes |
| Works with scanned PDFs (OCR) | You build it | Yes |
| Private / controlled deployment | Self-managed | Yes — dedicated, in-region options |
Choose Wyrefront when you want answers out of the box, not a search platform to build and maintain.
