Build Conversational Agents with Vector DBs - LangChain #9

From the creator

We've seen in previous chapters how powerful retrieval augmentation (vector databases) and conversational agents (chatbots) can be. They become even more impressive when we begin using them together. Conversational agents can struggle with data freshness, knowledge about specific domains, or accessing internal documentation. By coupling agents with retrieval augmentation tools, we no longer have these problems. On the other side, using "naive" retrieval augmentation without the use of an agent means we will retrieve contexts with every query. Again, this isn't always ideal as not every query requires access to external knowledge. Merging these methods gives us the best of both worlds. In this video, we'll learn how to do using the Pinecone vector database and OpenAI embedding and gpt-3.5-turbo completion models. 📌 Code notebook: https://github.com/pinecone-io/examples/blob/master/learn/generation/langchain/handbook/08-langchain-retrieval-agent.ipynb 👋🏼 NLP + LLM Consulting: https://aurelio.ai 🎙️ Support me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/JamesBriggs 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP 00:00 LangChain Agents with Vector DBs 01:27 Code Setup and Data Prep 03:14 Vector DB Pipeline Setup 05:35 Indexing with OpenAI and Pinecone 07:53 Querying via LangChain 09:33 Building the Retrieval Augmented Chatbot 13:52 Using the Conversational Agent Chatbot 17:17 Real-world Usage of this Method #artificialintelligence #langchain #openai #chatgpt #nlp #deeplearning

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
