<p>RAG is backed by a <strong>vector store</strong>, a vector database which stores embeddings of the ingested data.</p>
|
||
<p>This enables <strong>vector search</strong>, a more powerful and context-aware search.</p>

|

<p>The <strong>Load Data Flow</strong> (bottom of the screen) creates a searchable index to be queried for contextual similarity.
|
||
This flow populates the vector store with data from a local file.
|
||
It ingests data from a local file, splits it into chunks, indexes it in Astra DB, and computes embeddings for the chunks using the OpenAI embeddings model.</p>
|
||
<p>The <strong>Retriever Flow</strong> (top of the screen) embeds the user's queries into vectors, which are compared to the vector store data from the <strong>Load Data Flow</strong> for contextual similarity.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>Chat Input</strong> receives user input from the <strong>Playground</strong>.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>OpenAI Embeddings</strong> converts the user query into vector form.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Astra DB</strong> performs similarity search using the query vector.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Parse Data</strong> processes the retrieved chunks.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Prompt</strong> combines the user query with relevant context.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>OpenAI</strong> generates the response using the prompt.</li>

<li>Select your <strong>Database</strong>.
|

If you don't have a collection, select <strong>New database</strong>.
|
||
Complete the <strong>Name</strong>, <strong>Cloud provider</strong>, and <strong>Region</strong> fields, and then click <strong>Create</strong>. <strong>Database creation takes a few minutes</strong>.</li>

<p>If you don't have a collection, create a new one within the component.</p>

|

<p>Your choice for the <strong>Embedding generation method</strong> and <strong>Embedding model</strong> depends on whether you want to use embeddings generated by a provider through Astra's vectorize service, or generated by a component in Langflow.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>To use embeddings generated by a provider through Astra's vectorize service, select the model from the <strong>Embedding generation method</strong> dropdown menu, and then select the model from the <strong>Embedding model</strong> dropdown menu.</li>
|
||
<li>To use embeddings generated by a component in Langflow, select <strong>Bring your own</strong> for both the <strong>Embedding generation method</strong> and <strong>Embedding model</strong> fields. In this starter project, the option for the embeddings method and model is the <strong>OpenAI Embeddings</strong> component connected to the <strong>Astra DB</strong> component.</li>
|
||
<li>The <strong>Dimensions</strong> value must match the dimensions of your collection. This field is <strong>not required</strong> if you use embeddings generated through Astra's vectorize service. You can find this value in the <strong>Collection</strong> in your <a href="https://astra.datastax.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Astra DB deployment</a>.</li>
