Solution · Market Mapping
The whole category, actually bounded.
A market map is only as good as its boundary. Bixel categories are curated, crawled sets: every member carries a full dated record, and thin coverage is labeled thin.
Curated membership, honest coverage states, one record shape per company.
The job
Keyword sweeps produce lists, not maps.
Scrape a directory and you get 400 “vector databases,” most of them plugins, wrappers, or dead. A usable map is a bounded set with comparable data per member, and a straight answer about where coverage is thin.
Every member of a category is crawled from its own surfaces, gets the same record shape, and keeps a dated history from the moment it enters the catalogue.
- Directory dumps padded with dead and irrelevant entries
- Per-company data too inconsistent to compare
- No honest signal for which entries are actually covered
- Maps that were accurate once, at publication
The API
4 calls cover the job.
Current state is open. History values, claim checks, and evidence trails sit behind a free key. These are the real routes.
For agents · MCP
Or let your agent run it.
Connect the Bixel MCP server and any agent, Claude, an internal copilot, a procurement bot, works this job against live structured data, with every value citing the dated capture it came from. The recommendation becomes auditable, not a guess.
you ask your agent
“List the vector databases with their pricing model, security posture, and how current each record is.”
