4,950 API Calls to Zero: Embeddings Rescue Feedback Overload

100 feedback items? That's 4,950 pairwise comparisons if you brute-force it with Claude. One dev built smarter: embeddings turn text into vectors, letting Postgres handle the math.

⚡ Key Takeaways

  • Embeddings crush pairwise AI comparisons: 100 items = 4,950 calls vs. one-time vectors + fast DB math. 𝕏
  • pgvector on Postgres adds semantic search without new DBs — hybrid Prisma/raw SQL gets it done. 𝕏
  • Threshold at 0.85 + self-exclude fixes clustering; covers 80% of feedback cases out the gate. 𝕏
