Give your AI apps a memory that actually works.
Chroma gives your AI applications the power to search and remember. Instead of matching keywords, it understands the meaning behind your questions — so a chatbot, a knowledge base, or an AI assistant can pull up exactly what it needs, instantly.
What makes Chroma worth launching.
Find information based on what it means, not just the exact words — so you always get the most relevant results.
Give your AI apps long-term memory so they remember past conversations, user preferences, and important facts.
Combine semantic search, keyword matching, and metadata filters in one query for the most accurate results.
Get started with just four core operations — add, get, update, and query — making it easy to integrate into any AI project.
Store and search across text, images, audio, and more — all within the same database.
Join thousands of developers who contribute, share ideas, and build on Chroma every day.
If you fit one of these, Chroma is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where Chroma makes a real difference.
Give your chatbot instant access to your help docs and past tickets so it answers questions accurately, every time.
Build an AI that remembers who you are, what you've discussed, and your preferences across sessions.
Let your team search internal documents, wikis, and reports by meaning — not just matching keywords.
Surface products, content, or articles that are conceptually similar to what a user is currently viewing.
Chroma is an open-source database purpose-built for AI applications. Think of it as a smart memory layer for your AI tools — it stores information in a way that lets you search by meaning rather than exact words. For example, a question like 'How do I reset my password?' will find relevant documents even if they never use those exact words. With over 27,000 GitHub stars and 15 million monthly downloads, Chroma is trusted by developers and businesses worldwide to power smarter chatbots, AI assistants, recommendation engines, and knowledge bases. It supports multiple types of search — including semantic, keyword, and full-text — all through a simple interface. Best of all, it's completely open-source, so you're never locked into a proprietary platform.
Chroma is the most popular open-source database for AI applications, and for good reason. It makes your AI tools smarter by giving them the ability to search and remember by meaning — not just by matching exact words. Whether you're building a customer support chatbot that actually understands your docs, an AI assistant that remembers past conversations, or a recommendation engine that surfaces exactly what users want, Chroma handles the heavy lifting. Its simple design means you can start using it right away, and its active community (with over 27,000 stars on GitHub) means it's constantly improving. Developers love it because it just works — no complex setup, no vendor lock-in, just reliable, intelligent search.
