Bring Your Own Cloud

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for deploying the Collate AI Proxy (CAIP) with Helm alongside your existing Collate installation. The chart packages the Collate AI Proxy as a standalone Kubernetes service that integrates with Collate.
Collate AI requires the underlying Collate deployment to use OpenSearch as its search engine. ElasticSearch is not supported because Semantic and Hybrid Search rely on OpenSearch’s vector capabilities.

Collate AI Proxy deployment architecture In AWS, we rely on AWS Bedrock using its regional endpoints or inference endpoints to interact with large language models and power our AI agents. For other providers, such as Azure OpenAI, we query the provider APIs directly.
