Usage 📖

For using the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) features, follow these steps:

1. You will need to put your documents in the data/ directory in the root of the project. Create data/ directory in the root of the project if it doesn't exist.

   mkdir data
   

2. Create a directory in the root of the project called chroma/. This directory will contain the OpenAI embeddings (embedding vectors) for the documents.

3. Process the documents and create the embeddings using the following command:

   pdm run process
   

Using Query mode:

Once your documents are processed. You can use the query mode to give prompts for the documents [RAG].

pdm run -q

or, you can use \q: before your prompt to use it in query mode.
