Automatically generates vector embeddings for Strapi content entries using configurable AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models). Hooks into Strapi's lifecycle events to trigger embedding generation on content creation/update, storing dense vectors in PostgreSQL via pgvector extension. Supports batch processing and selective field embedding based on content type configuration.
