# Welcome

**Qyver** is a Python framework designed for AI Engineers developing high-performance search and recommendation applications that integrate both structured and unstructured data.

#### **Why Qyver?**

Enhance vector search relevance by encoding metadata alongside unstructured data into vectors. Learn more at Why Qyver.

#### **What is Qyver?**

A framework and self-hostable REST API server that seamlessly connects your data, vector database, and backend services.

#### **How does it work?**

Build custom data and query embedding models using pre-trained encoders from **sentence-transformers**, **open-clip**, and custom encoders for numbers, timestamps, and categorical data. Explore concepts and use cases for examples.
