Teradata has announced new agentic and multi-modal data capabilities for Teradata Enterprise Vector Store, a unified solution that enables organisations to harness the full potential of generative AI and autonomous agents across hybrid, cloud, and on-premises environments.
Integrated with Unstructured, this release combines multi-modal data integration, agentic capabilities, and advanced hybrid search. New features include automated ingestion and processing of documents, PDFs, images, and audio; hybrid search combining semantic and lexical search; multi-modal embeddings supporting text, image, and audio; higher embedding dimensions up to 8K; and direct LangChain integration enabling enterprise-scale RAG pipelines.
With the explosive growth in unstructured data, which Gartner estimates is growing at three times the rate of structured data, traditional vector databases have proved insufficient for enterprise-scale AI deployments. Nearly 80% of companies are already deploying AI agents, with most projecting over 100% ROI from agentic AI initiatives.
We are entering an era where AI agents will become the primary interface for enterprise intelligence, autonomously orchestrating workflows, making decisions within defined governance frameworks, and uncovering insights across every data type.
Real-world applications include insurance claims adjudication agents processing damage photos and policy PDFs alongside structured claims data; financial services firms building governed agents combining unstructured policy definitions with structured business data; and healthcare institutions combining patient records with clinical notes, medical images, and audio dictations.
Enterprises should not have to choose between data security and AI readiness. By embedding Unstructured natively inside Teradata Enterprise Vector Store, customers get production-quality, AI-ready data at scale, with no external tools, no data leaving the platform, and no compromise on governance.
New agentic and multi-modal capabilities for Teradata Enterprise Vector Store are generally available to Teradata customers starting April 2026.
