Generate Text Embeddings

Generate Text Embeddings is part of a production AI system only when it has a defined data boundary, owner, evaluation path, and support workflow.

When to use it#

You need an AI capability that depends on governed company data, not a standalone demo.
The workflow has clear users, source systems, permissions, success criteria, and support expectations.
You want Assistance to help design, build, or operate the pipeline inside an agreed boundary.

What Assistance operates#

Depending on the engagement, Assistance operates the implementation plan, data ingestion or indexing jobs, model/provider integration, prompt and configuration versioning, evaluation checks, dashboards, alerts, incident triage, and handoff runbooks.

What the customer owns#

The customer owns source data correctness, data classification, access approvals, legal/privacy decisions, product behavior, provider account approvals, and business communications unless explicitly contracted.

Operational boundary#

Area	Required decision
Data	Sources, owners, classification, retention, deletion behavior, and lineage.
Permissions	Tenant, role, service-account, and human-approval rules.
Quality	Test examples, evaluation thresholds, regression gates, and escalation paths.
Reliability	Retry policy, backfill behavior, provider failover, rate limits, and recovery steps.
Observability	Trace IDs, model/tool/retrieval logs, cost attribution, dashboards, and alert routing.

Safe-use requirements#

Do not index or prompt with secrets, regulated data, or customer content until the handling rules are approved.
Keep source permissions attached to derived data such as embeddings, summaries, labels, and caches.
Version model, prompt, chunking, indexing, tool, and evaluation changes.
Use human approval for destructive actions or irreversible external side effects.
Capture evidence for quality, cost, latency, and security review before production rollout.

Onboarding inputs#

Provide the workflow goal, representative examples, source inventory, access model, provider constraints, expected volume, latency/cost targets, support contacts, and existing observability tools.

Handoff artifacts#

Assistance handoff normally includes an architecture note, data-flow map, operating boundary, runbook, dashboard links, eval or acceptance evidence, known risks, and a backlog of follow-up improvements.
