Document Indexing and Multimodal Search

You can use the emb command to index documents and perform search by an image. emb uses chroma for the default vector database.

# index example documents in the current directory.
emb ingest-sample -m clip -c catcafe --corpus cat-names-en

# or, you can give the path to your documents.
# the documents should be in a CSV file with two columns: id and text. the separator should be comma.
emb ingest -m clip -c <collection-name> -f <path-to-your-documents>

# search for an image in the indexed documents.
emb search -m clip -c catcafe --image gingercat.jpeg
