The use case: how Gem deploys Vespa
GEM, a search engine for secondhand and vintage fashion, uses Vespa to power saved image-search alerts. Vespa matches each incoming listing against stored image searches using vector similarity thresholds and structured filters such as size and price, returning every qualifying saved search.
In the customer’s words
