**Type:** Announcement

## Summary

At MongoDB.local NYC 2025, MongoDB introduced new capabilities and product updates tailored for artificial intelligence workloads. MongoDB 8.2 was unveiled alongside public previews of full-text and vector search for both MongoDB Community Edition and Enterprise Server. The company also detailed its integration with Voyage AI embedding and reranking models to deliver precision retrieval across raw data, metadata, and vectors. To address legacy infrastructure migration hurdles, MongoDB launched the Application Modernization Platform, which combines AI-assisted tooling and specialized workflows to accelerate legacy application refactoring two to three times faster. These architectural updates aim to position the JSON document model as the persistent memory and context store required by autonomous, agentic AI workflows.

## Context

Organizations face high costs and architectural constraints when maintaining legacy relational systems that cannot handle the scale, flexibility, and contextual memory demands of AI workloads.

## Approach / What changed

MongoDB released MongoDB 8.2, introduced public previews of search and vector search across Community Edition and Enterprise Server, integrated Voyage AI embedding and reranking models, and launched the Application Modernization Platform to automate legacy code migration.

## Takeaways

- Search and vector search capabilities are now available in public preview for both MongoDB Community Edition and MongoDB Enterprise Server.
- The Application Modernization Platform accelerates database migrations from legacy systems by two to three times and speeds up code rewriting by an order of magnitude.
- Voyage AI embedding and reranking models are utilized to improve retrieval accuracy across raw data, metadata, and vector embeddings.
