What problem does it solve?
Chroma eliminates the need to manually wire up an embedding-and-retrieval layer by giving you a simple way to store vectors plus metadata and then search them semantically.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Store embeddings with metadata: Persist document vectors alongside rich fields (source, category, timestamps, tags) for filtering and traceability.
- Perform vector + metadata search: Run similarity queries and constrain results with exact-match and comparison operators.
- Enable RAG and document retrieval: Power retrieval-augmented generation by fetching relevant chunks from your own corpus, locally or via server mode.
Quick Start
Use the chroma skill to create a persistent collection, add a few documents with metadata, and run a similarity query with a metadata filter so you can retrieve the most relevant matches immediately.
