I need an urgent information regarding the recent changes with Trieve. I understand there are a couple of workarounds provided by Vapi in the docs. However, we are thinking of self-hosting trieve and go from there. I am wondering if this will be still supported by Vapi if we keep this structure? If you can kindly provide me with a detailed response that'd be great. We have clients who are already upset with this sudden change and we want to land on something sustainable. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yes, Vapi supports self-hosted Trieve via the BYOD (Bring Your Own Dataset) approach. To connect your self-hosted Trieve, generate an API key from your Trieve dashboard and import your dataset into Vapi using the following example:

json
{
  "name": "trieve-dataset",
  "provider": "trieve",
  "searchPlan": { "scoreThreshold": 0.2, "searchType": "semantic" },
  "createPlan": { "type": "import", "providerId": "<Your Trieve Dataset ID>" }
}

This lets you maintain your own Trieve infrastructure while using Vapi for knowledge retrieval ([documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/knowledge-base/integrating-with-trieve)). Source: - [Integrating with Trieve](https://docs.vapi.ai/knowledge-base/integrating-with-trieve)

Just making sure this information is accurate even after Trieve decided to discontinue their services?

Hi STRANGE, If you have questions about using VAPI workflows or integrating a knowledge base, feel free to ask. Here are some quick references for recent updates: 1. VAPI has simplified workflow steps with reusable [Workflow blocks](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2025/1/20). 2. The Trieve Knowledge Base now uses

createPlan

and

searchPlan

fields for better configuration ([details here](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2025/1/20)). If you need help with configuring transcribers, various providers like AssemblyAI, AzureSpeech, and more are supported. You can review options for [transcriber configurations here](https://docs.vapi.ai/api-reference/squads/get). If you have any specific issues, let me know how I can assist further.
