pgsemantic adds zero-config semantic search to Postgres

pgsemantic turns an existing PostgreSQL database into a semantic search backend with `pip install`, a visual setup flow, and CLI commands. It scores text columns for semantic suitability, adds vector storage and HNSW indexing, and keeps embeddings synced through triggers and a background worker.

// ANALYSIS

This is an effective approach to Postgres AI tooling that manages embedding logic internally instead of requiring external vector stores. The UI-driven column scoring simplifies setup, while trigger-backed synchronization and a background worker maintain embeddings efficiently. Local and cloud model options provide a practical privacy ladder, and MCP support offers a smart wedge for agent workflows. However, the tool's effectiveness remains dependent on descriptive text and sensible database hygiene.
