Shaped

Shaped is a real-time retrieval and ranking platform for search, recommendations, and agent retrieval. It combines retrieval, ranking, and learning in a single query interface, aiming to replace separate vector stores, rerankers, and ranking pipelines. The platform states it has been acquired by Whatnot.

Shaped Cloud is the fully-managed product, built around ShapedQL, a SQL-like interface for retrieving by text, user ID, or item ID. Capabilities include hybrid search across semantic and keyword indexes, filtering with business rules, ML-based scoring, diversity reordering, and agent context. It offers a three-layer architecture: a query layer for real-time retrieval and ranking, an intelligence layer for embeddings and continuously trained models, and a data layer with 30+ native connectors covering warehouses, analytics applications, streaming, and catalog storage. Access is available through Python and TypeScript SDKs and MCP. Security certifications include SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA compliance.

Use cases span search and discovery, recommendations, personalized content feeds, personalized email, and agent memory for RAG applications. The site indicates $100 in free credits without requiring a credit card; no further plan or edition details are stated.
