Classes, objects and vector search. Another vector store, for teams already running one.

## Connecting

In the dashboard, open **Connectors**, find Weaviate and press **Connect**. The key you enter is checked against Weaviate before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.
