FAQPage Schema
What is a vector database used for in AI applications?

A vector database stores embeddings and metadata to enable fast semantic search for AI applications, supporting RAG pipelines, document retrieval, and memory-enabled AI systems.

How do I store embeddings and metadata for semantic search?

You can store embeddings and metadata for semantic search using a simple four-function API to create or load local collections, enabling fast vector and full-text retrieval.

Can I self-host a vector database for RAG pipelines in production?

Yes, you can self-host an open-source vector database for RAG pipelines that scales seamlessly from local notebooks to production environments without external dependencies.

What's the best way to perform document retrieval with metadata filtering?

The best way to perform document retrieval with metadata filtering is using an open-source vector database that natively supports storing metadata alongside vectors for filtered semantic search.

Do I need any external dependencies to run a local vector database?

No, you do not need external dependencies to run this local vector database, as it operates independently to store embeddings and perform semantic search within your notebooks or production setup.
