# Custom configurations
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/api-reference/advanced/configuration



Embedchain offers several configuration options for your LLM, vector database, and embedding model. All of these configuration options are optional and have sane defaults.

You can configure different components of your app (`llm`, `embedding model`, or `vector database`) through a simple yaml configuration that Embedchain offers. Here is a generic full-stack example of the yaml config:

<Tip>
  Embedchain applications are configurable using YAML file, JSON file or by directly passing the config dictionary. Checkout the [docs here](/api-reference/app/overview#usage) on how to use other formats.

If you want to get the answer to question and return both answer and citations, use the following code snippet:

```python With Citations theme={null}
from embedchain import App

# Initialize app
app = App()

# Add data source
app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")

# Get relevant answer for your query
answer, sources = app.chat("What is the net worth of Elon?", citations=True)
print(answer)
# Answer: The net worth of Elon Musk is $221.9 billion.

print(sources)
# [
#    (
#        'Elon Musk PROFILEElon MuskCEO, Tesla$247.1B$2.3B (0.96%)Real Time Net Worthas of 12/7/23 ...',
#        {
#           'url': 'https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk', 
#           'score': 0.89,
#           ...
#        }
#    ),
#    (
#        '74% of the company, which is now called X.Wealth HistoryHOVER TO REVEAL NET WORTH BY YEARForbes ...',
#        {
#           'url': 'https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk', 
#           'score': 0.81,
#           ...
#        }
#    ),
#    (
#        'founded in 2002, is worth nearly $150 billion after a $750 million tender offer in June 2023 ...',
#        {
#           'url': 'https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk', 
#           'score': 0.73,
#           ...
#        }
#    )
# ]
```

<Note>
  When `citations=True`, note that the returned `sources` are a list of tuples where each tuple has two elements (in the following order):

  1. source chunk
  2. dictionary with metadata about the source chunk
     * `url`: url of the source
     * `doc_id`: document id (used for book keeping purposes)
     * `score`: score of the source chunk with respect to the question
     * other metadata you might have added at the time of adding the source
</Note>

### Without citations

If you just want to return answers and don't want to return citations, you can use the following example:

```python Without Citations theme={null}
from embedchain import App

# Initialize app
app = App()

# Add data source
app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")

# Chat on your data using `.chat()`
answer = app.chat("What is the net worth of Elon?")
print(answer)
# Answer: The net worth of Elon Musk is $221.9 billion.
```

### With session id

If you want to maintain chat sessions for different users, you can simply pass the `session_id` keyword argument. See the example below:

```python With session id theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()
app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")

# Chat on your data using `.chat()`
app.chat("What is the net worth of Elon Musk?", session_id="user1")
# 'The net worth of Elon Musk is $250.8 billion.'
app.chat("What is the net worth of Bill Gates?", session_id="user2")
# "I don't know the current net worth of Bill Gates."
app.chat("What was my last question", session_id="user1")
# 'Your last question was "What is the net worth of Elon Musk?"'
```

### With custom context window

If you want to customize the context window that you want to use during chat (default context window is 3 document chunks), you can do using the following code snippet:

```python with custom chunks size theme={null}
from embedchain import App
from embedchain.config import BaseLlmConfig

app = App()
app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")

query_config = BaseLlmConfig(number_documents=5)
app.chat("What is the net worth of Elon Musk?", config=query_config)
```

### With Mem0 to store chat history

Mem0 is a cutting-edge long-term memory for LLMs to enable personalization for the GenAI stack. It enables LLMs to remember past interactions and provide more personalized responses.

In order to use Mem0 to enable memory for personalization in your apps:

* Install the [`mem0`](https://docs.mem0.ai/) package using `pip install mem0ai`.
* Prepare config for `memory`, refer [Configurations](docs/api-reference/advanced/configuration.mdx).

```python with mem0 theme={null}
from embedchain import App

config = {
  "memory": {
    "top_k": 5
  }
}

app = App.from_config(config=config)
app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")

app.chat("What is the net worth of Elon Musk?")
```

## How Mem0 works:

* Mem0 saves context derived from each user question into its memory.
* When a user poses a new question, Mem0 retrieves relevant previous memories.
* The `top_k` parameter in the memory configuration specifies the number of top memories to consider during retrieval.
* Mem0 generates the final response by integrating the user's question, context from the data source, and the relevant memories.


# 🗑 delete
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/api-reference/app/delete



## Delete Document

`delete()` method allows you to delete a document previously added to the app.

### Usage

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()

forbes_doc_id = app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")
wiki_doc_id = app.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk")

app.delete(forbes_doc_id)   # deletes the forbes document
```

<Note>
  If you do not have the document id, you can use `app.db.get()` method to get the document and extract the `hash` key from `metadatas` dictionary object, which serves as the document id.
</Note>

## Delete Chat Session History

`delete_session_chat_history()` method allows you to delete all previous messages in a chat history.

### Usage

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()

app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")

app.chat("What is the net worth of Elon Musk?")

app.delete_session_chat_history()
```

<Note>
  `delete_session_chat_history(session_id="session_1")` method also accepts `session_id` optional param for deleting chat history of a specific session.
  It assumes the default session if no `session_id` is provided.

app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")

context = app.search("What is the net worth of Elon?", num_documents=2)
print(context)
```

### Advanced

#### Metadata filtering using `where` params

Here is an advanced example of `search()` API with metadata filtering on pinecone database:

```python theme={null}
import os

from embedchain import App

os.environ["PINECONE_API_KEY"] = "xxx"

config = {
    "vectordb": {
        "provider": "pinecone",
        "config": {
            "metric": "dotproduct",
            "vector_dimension": 1536,
            "index_name": "ec-test",
            "serverless_config": {"cloud": "aws", "region": "us-west-2"},
        },
    }
}

app = App.from_config(config=config)

app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/bill-gates", metadata={"type": "forbes", "person": "gates"})
app.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates", metadata={"type": "wiki", "person": "gates"})

results = app.search("What is the net worth of Bill Gates?", where={"person": "gates"})
print("Num of search results: ", len(results))
```

#### Metadata filtering using `raw_filter` params

Following is an example of metadata filtering by passing the raw filter query that pinecone vector database follows:

```python theme={null}
import os

from embedchain import App

os.environ["PINECONE_API_KEY"] = "xxx"

config = {
    "vectordb": {
        "provider": "pinecone",
        "config": {
            "metric": "dotproduct",
            "vector_dimension": 1536,
            "index_name": "ec-test",
            "serverless_config": {"cloud": "aws", "region": "us-west-2"},
        },
    }
}

app = App.from_config(config=config)

app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/bill-gates", metadata={"year": 2022, "person": "gates"})
app.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates", metadata={"year": 2024, "person": "gates"})

print("Filter with person: gates and year > 2023")
raw_filter = {"$and": [{"person": "gates"}, {"year": {"$gt": 2023}}]}
results = app.search("What is the net worth of Bill Gates?", raw_filter=raw_filter)
print("Num of search results: ", len(results))
```

# 🎤 Audio
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/audio



To use an audio as data source, just add `data_type` as `audio` and pass in the path of the audio (local or hosted).

We use [Deepgram](https://developers.deepgram.com/docs/introduction) to transcribe the audiot to text, and then use the generated text as the data source.

You would require an Deepgram API key which is available [here](https://console.deepgram.com/signup?jump=keys) to use this feature.

### Without customization

```python theme={null}
import os
from embedchain import App

os.environ["DEEPGRAM_API_KEY"] = "153xxx"

app = App()
app.add("introduction.wav", data_type="audio")
response = app.query("What is my name and how old am I?")
print(response)
# Answer: Your name is Dave and you are 21 years old.
```


# 🐝 Beehiiv
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/beehiiv



To add any Beehiiv data sources to your app, just add the base url as the source and set the data\_type to `beehiiv`.

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()

# source: just add the base url and set the data_type to 'beehiiv'
app.add('https://aibreakfast.beehiiv.com', data_type='beehiiv')
app.query("How much is OpenAI paying developers?")
# Answer: OpenAI is aggressively recruiting Google's top AI researchers with offers ranging between $5 to $10 million annually, primarily in stock options.
```


# 📊 CSV
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/csv



You can load any csv file from your local file system or through a URL. Headers are included for each line, so if you have an `age` column, `18` will be added as `age: 18`.

## Usage

### Load from a local file

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App
app = App()
app.add('/path/to/file.csv', data_type='csv')
```

### Load from URL

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App
app = App()
app.add('https://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/data/csv/airtravel.csv', data_type="csv")
```

<Note>
  There is a size limit allowed for csv file beyond which it can throw error. This limit is set by the LLMs. Please consider chunking large csv files into smaller csv files.
</Note>


# ⚙️ Custom
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/custom



When we say "custom", we mean that you can customize the loader and chunker to your needs. This is done by passing a custom loader and chunker to the `add` method.

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App
import your_loader
from my_module import CustomLoader
from my_module import CustomChunker

app = App()
loader = CustomLoader()
chunker = CustomChunker()

app.add("source", data_type="custom", loader=loader, chunker=chunker)
```

<Note>
  The custom loader and chunker must be a class that inherits from the [`BaseLoader`](https://github.com/embedchain/embedchain/blob/main/embedchain/loaders/base_loader.py) and [`BaseChunker`](https://github.com/embedchain/embedchain/blob/main/embedchain/chunkers/base_chunker.py) classes respectively.
</Note>

<Note>
  If the `data_type` is not a valid data type, the `add` method will fallback to the `custom` data type and expect a custom loader and chunker to be passed by the user.
</Note>

Example:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App
from embedchain.loaders.github import GithubLoader

app = App()

loader = GithubLoader(config={"token": "ghp_xxx"})

app.add("repo:embedchain/embedchain type:repo", data_type="github", loader=loader)

app.query("What is Embedchain?")
# Answer: Embedchain is a Data Platform for Large Language Models (LLMs). It allows users to seamlessly load, index, retrieve, and sync unstructured data in order to build dynamic, LLM-powered applications. There is also a JavaScript implementation called embedchain-js available on GitHub.
```


# Data type handling
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/data-type-handling



## Automatic data type detection

The add method automatically tries to detect the data\_type, based on your input for the source argument. So `app.add('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ')` is enough to embed a YouTube video.

This detection is implemented for all formats. It is based on factors such as whether it's a URL, a local file, the source data type, etc.

### Debugging automatic detection

Set `log_level: DEBUG` in the config yaml to debug if the data type detection is done right or not. Otherwise, you will not know when, for instance, an invalid filepath is interpreted as raw text instead.

### Forcing a data type

To omit any issues with the data type detection, you can **force** a data\_type by adding it as a `add` method argument.
The examples below show you the keyword to force the respective `data_type`.

Forcing can also be used for edge cases, such as interpreting a sitemap as a web\_page, for reading its raw text instead of following links.

## Remote data types

<Tip>
  **Use local files in remote data types**

  Some data\_types are meant for remote content and only work with URLs.
  You can pass local files by formatting the path using the `file:` [URI scheme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme), e.g. `file:///info.pdf`.
</Tip>

## Reusing a vector database

Default behavior is to create a persistent vector db in the directory **./db**. You can split your application into two Python scripts: one to create a local vector db and the other to reuse this local persistent vector db. This is useful when you want to index hundreds of documents and separately implement a chat interface.

Create a local index:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

config = {
    "app": {
        "config": {
            "id": "app-1"
        }
    }
}
naval_chat_bot = App.from_config(config=config)
naval_chat_bot.add("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qHkcs3kG44")
naval_chat_bot.add("https://navalmanack.s3.amazonaws.com/Eric-Jorgenson_The-Almanack-of-Naval-Ravikant_Final.pdf")
```

You can reuse the local index with the same code, but without adding new documents:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

config = {
    "app": {
        "config": {
            "id": "app-1"
        }
    }
}
naval_chat_bot = App.from_config(config=config)
print(naval_chat_bot.query("What unique capacity does Naval argue humans possess when it comes to understanding explanations or concepts?"))
```

## Resetting an app and vector database

You can reset the app by simply calling the `reset` method. This will delete the vector database and all other app related files.

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()config = {
    "app": {
        "config": {
            "id": "app-1"
        }
    }
}
naval_chat_bot = App.from_config(config=config)
app.add("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qHkcs3kG44")
app.reset()
```


# 📁 Directory/Folder
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/directory



To use an entire directory as data source, just add `data_type` as `directory` and pass in the path of the local directory.

### Without customization

```python theme={null}
import os
from embedchain import App

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxx"

app = App()
app.add("./elon-musk", data_type="directory")
response = app.query("list all files")
print(response)
# Answer: Files are elon-musk-1.txt, elon-musk-2.pdf.
```

### Customization

```python theme={null}
import os
from embedchain import App
from embedchain.loaders.directory_loader import DirectoryLoader

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxx"
lconfig = {
    "recursive": True,
    "extensions": [".txt"]
}
loader = DirectoryLoader(config=lconfig)
app = App()
app.add("./elon-musk", loader=loader)
response = app.query("what are all the files related to?")
print(response)

# Answer: The files are related to Elon Musk.
```


# 💬 Discord
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/discord



To add any Discord channel messages to your app, just add the `channel_id` as the source and set the `data_type` to `discord`.

<Note>
  This loader requires a Discord bot token with read messages access.
  To obtain the token, follow the instructions provided in this tutorial:
  <a href="https://www.writebots.com/discord-bot-token/">How to Get a Discord Bot Token?</a>.
</Note>

```python theme={null}
import os
from embedchain import App

# add your discord "BOT" token
os.environ["DISCORD_TOKEN"] = "xxx"

app = App()

app.add("1177296711023075338", data_type="discord")

response = app.query("What is Joe saying about Elon Musk?")

print(response)
# Answer: Joe is saying "Elon Musk is a genius".
```


# 🗨️ Discourse
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/discourse



You can now easily load data from your community built with [Discourse](https://discourse.org/).

## Example

1. Setup the Discourse Loader with your community url.

```Python theme={null}
from embedchain.loaders.discourse import DiscourseLoader

dicourse_loader = DiscourseLoader(config={"domain": "https://community.openai.com"})
```

2. Once you setup the loader, you can create an app and load data using the above discourse loader

```Python theme={null}
import os
from embedchain.pipeline import Pipeline as App

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxx"

app = App()

app.add("openai after:2023-10-1", data_type="discourse", loader=dicourse_loader)

question = "Where can I find the OpenAI API status page?"
app.query(question)
# Answer: You can find the OpenAI API status page at https:/status.openai.com/.
```

NOTE: The `add` function of the app will accept any executable search query to load data. Refer [Discourse API Docs](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Search) to learn more about search queries.

3. We automatically create a chunker to chunk your discourse data, however if you wish to provide your own chunker class. Here is how you can do that:

```Python theme={null}

from embedchain.chunkers.discourse import DiscourseChunker
from embedchain.config.add_config import ChunkerConfig

discourse_chunker_config = ChunkerConfig(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0, length_function=len)
discourse_chunker = DiscourseChunker(config=discourse_chunker_config)

app.add("openai", data_type='discourse', loader=dicourse_loader, chunker=discourse_chunker)
```


# 📚 Code Docs website
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/docs-site



To add any code documentation website as a loader, use the data\_type as `docs_site`. Eg:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()
app.add("https://docs.embedchain.ai/", data_type="docs_site")
app.query("What is Embedchain?")
# Answer: Embedchain is a platform that utilizes various components, including paid/proprietary ones, to provide what is believed to be the best configuration available. It uses LLM (Language Model) providers such as OpenAI, Anthpropic, Vertex_AI, GPT4ALL, Azure_OpenAI, LLAMA2, JINA, Ollama, Together and COHERE. Embedchain allows users to import and utilize these LLM providers for their applications.'
```


# 📄 Docx file
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/docx



### Docx file

To add any doc/docx file, use the data\_type as `docx`. `docx` allows remote urls and conventional file paths. Eg:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()
app.add('https://example.com/content/intro.docx', data_type="docx")
# Or add file using the local file path on your system
# app.add('content/intro.docx', data_type="docx")

app.query("Summarize the docx data?")
```


# 💾 Dropbox
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/dropbox



To load folders or files from your Dropbox account, configure the `data_type` parameter as `dropbox` and specify the path to the desired file or folder, starting from the root directory of your Dropbox account.

For Dropbox access, an **access token** is required. Obtain this token by visiting [Dropbox Developer Apps](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps). There, create a new app and generate an access token for it.

Ensure your app has the following settings activated:

* In the Permissions section, enable `files.content.read` and `files.metadata.read`.

## Usage

Install the `dropbox` pypi package:

```bash theme={null}
pip install dropbox
```

Following is an example of how to use the dropbox loader:

```python theme={null}
import os
from embedchain import App

os.environ["DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN"] = "sl.xxx"
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxx"

app = App()

# any path from the root of your dropbox account, you can leave it "" for the root folder
app.add("/test", data_type="dropbox")

print(app.query("Which two celebrities are mentioned here?"))
# The two celebrities mentioned in the given context are Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
```


# 📝 Github
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/github



1. Setup the Github loader by configuring the Github account with username and personal access token (PAT). Check out [this](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.6/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens#creating-a-personal-access-token) link to learn how to create a PAT.

```Python theme={null}
from embedchain.loaders.github import GithubLoader

loader = GithubLoader(
    config={
        "token":"ghp_xxxx"
        }
    )
```

2. Once you setup the loader, you can create an app and load data using the above Github loader

```Python theme={null}
import os
from embedchain.pipeline import Pipeline as App

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxxx"

app = App()

app.add("repo:embedchain/embedchain type:repo", data_type="github", loader=loader)

response = app.query("What is Embedchain?")
# Answer: Embedchain is a Data Platform for Large Language Models (LLMs). It allows users to seamlessly load, index, retrieve, and sync unstructured data in order to build dynamic, LLM-powered applications. There is also a JavaScript implementation called embedchain-js available on GitHub.
```

The `add` function of the app will accept any valid github query with qualifiers. It only supports loading github code, repository, issues and pull-requests.

<Note>
  You must provide qualifiers `type:` and `repo:` in the query. The `type:` qualifier can be a combination of `code`, `repo`, `pr`, `issue`, `branch`, `file`. The `repo:` qualifier must be a valid github repository name.
</Note>

<Card title="Valid queries" icon="lightbulb">
  * `repo:embedchain/embedchain type:repo` - to load the repository
  * `repo:embedchain/embedchain type:branch name:feature_test` - to load the branch of the repository
  * `repo:embedchain/embedchain type:file path:README.md` - to load the specific file of the repository
  * `repo:embedchain/embedchain type:issue,pr` - to load the issues and pull-requests of the repository
  * `repo:embedchain/embedchain type:issue state:closed` - to load the closed issues of the repository
</Card>

3. We automatically create a chunker to chunk your GitHub data, however if you wish to provide your own chunker class. Here is how you can do that:

```Python theme={null}
from embedchain.chunkers.common_chunker import CommonChunker
from embedchain.config.add_config import ChunkerConfig

github_chunker_config = ChunkerConfig(chunk_size=2000, chunk_overlap=0, length_function=len)
github_chunker = CommonChunker(config=github_chunker_config)

app.add(load_query, data_type="github", loader=loader, chunker=github_chunker)
```


# 📬 Gmail
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/gmail



To use GmailLoader you must install the extra dependencies with `pip install --upgrade embedchain[gmail]`.

The `source` must be a valid Gmail search query, you can refer `https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7190?hl=en` to build a query.

To load Gmail messages, you MUST use the data\_type as `gmail`. Otherwise the source will be detected as simple `text`.

To use this you need to save `credentials.json` in the directory from where you will run the loader. Follow these steps to get the credentials

1. Go to the [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials).
2. Create a project if you don't have one already.
3. Create an `OAuth Consent Screen` in the project. You may need to select the `external` option.
4. Make sure the consent screen is published.
5. Enable the [Gmail API](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/gmail.googleapis.com)
6. Create credentials from the `Credentials` tab.
7. Select the type `OAuth Client ID`.
8. Choose the application type `Web application`. As a name you can choose `embedchain` or any other name as per your use case.
9. Add an authorized redirect URI for `http://localhost:8080/`.
10. You can leave everything else at default, finish the creation.
11. When you are done, a modal opens where you can download the details in `json` format.
12. Put the `.json` file in your current directory and rename it to `credentials.json`

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()

gmail_filter = "to: me label:inbox"
app.add(gmail_filter, data_type="gmail")
app.query("Summarize my email conversations")
```


# 🖼️ Image
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/image



To use an image as data source, just add `data_type` as `image` and pass in the path of the image (local or hosted).

We use [GPT4 Vision](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision) to generate meaning of the image using a custom prompt, and then use the generated text as the data source.

You would require an OpenAI API key with access to `gpt-4-vision-preview` model to use this feature.

### Without customization

```python theme={null}
import os
from embedchain import App

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxx"

app = App()
app.add("./Elon-Musk.webp", data_type="image")
response = app.query("Describe the man in the image.")
print(response)
# Answer: The man in the image is dressed in formal attire, wearing a dark suit jacket and a white collared shirt. He has short hair and is standing. He appears to be gazing off to the side with a reflective expression. The background is dark with faint, warm-toned vertical lines, possibly from a lit environment behind the individual or reflections. The overall atmosphere is somewhat moody and introspective.
```

### Customization

```python theme={null}
import os
from embedchain import App
from embedchain.loaders.image import ImageLoader

image_loader = ImageLoader(
    max_tokens=100,
    api_key="sk-xxx",
    prompt="Is the person looking wealthy? Structure your thoughts around what you see in the image.",
)

app = App()
app.add("./Elon-Musk.webp", data_type="image", loader=image_loader)
response = app.query("Describe the man in the image.")
print(response)
# Answer: The man in the image appears to be well-dressed in a suit and shirt, suggesting that he may be in a professional or formal setting. His composed demeanor and confident posture further indicate a sense of self-assurance. Based on these visual cues, one could infer that the man may have a certain level of economic or social status, possibly indicating wealth or professional success.
```


# 📃 JSON
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/json



To add any json file, use the data\_type as `json`. Headers are included for each line, so for example if you have a json like `{"age": 18}`, then it will be added as `age: 18`.

Here are the supported sources for loading `json`:

```
1. URL - valid url to json file that ends with ".json" extension.
2. Local file - valid url to local json file that ends with ".json" extension.
3. String - valid json string (e.g. - app.add('{"foo": "bar"}'))
```

<Tip>
  If you would like to add other data structures (e.g. list, dict etc.), convert it to a valid json first using `json.dumps()` function.
</Tip>

## Example

<CodeGroup>
  ```python python theme={null}
  from embedchain import App

  app = App()

  # Add json file
  app.add("temp.json")

  app.query("What is the net worth of Elon Musk as of October 2023?")
  # As of October 2023, Elon Musk's net worth is $255.2 billion.
  ```

  ```json temp.json theme={null}
  {
      "question": "What is your net worth, Elon Musk?",
      "answer": "As of October 2023, Elon Musk's net worth is $255.2 billion, making him one of the wealthiest individuals in the world."
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# 📝 Mdx file
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/mdx



To add any `.mdx` file to your app, use the data\_type (first argument to `.add()` method) as `mdx`. Note that this supports support mdx file present on machine, so this should be a file path. Eg:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()
app.add('path/to/file.mdx', data_type='mdx')

app.query("What are the docs about?")
```


# 🐬 MySQL
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/mysql



1. Setup the MySQL loader by configuring the SQL db.

```Python theme={null}
from embedchain.loaders.mysql import MySQLLoader

config = {
    "host": "host",
    "port": "port",
    "database": "database",
    "user": "username",
    "password": "password",
}

mysql_loader = MySQLLoader(config=config)
```

For more details on how to setup with valid config, check MySQL [documentation](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-connectargs.html).

2. Once you setup the loader, you can create an app and load data using the above MySQL loader

```Python theme={null}
from embedchain.pipeline import Pipeline as App

app = App()

app.add("SELECT * FROM table_name;", data_type='mysql', loader=mysql_loader)
# Adds `(1, 'What is your net worth, Elon Musk?', "As of October 2023, Elon Musk's net worth is $255.2 billion.")`

response = app.query(question)
# Answer: As of October 2023, Elon Musk's net worth is $255.2 billion.
```

NOTE: The `add` function of the app will accept any executable query to load data. DO NOT pass the `CREATE`, `INSERT` queries in `add` function.

3. We automatically create a chunker to chunk your SQL data, however if you wish to provide your own chunker class. Here is how you can do that:

```Python theme={null}

from embedchain.chunkers.mysql import MySQLChunker
from embedchain.config.add_config import ChunkerConfig

mysql_chunker_config = ChunkerConfig(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0, length_function=len)
mysql_chunker = MySQLChunker(config=mysql_chunker_config)

app.add("SELECT * FROM table_name;", data_type='mysql', loader=mysql_loader, chunker=mysql_chunker)
```


# 📓 Notion
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/notion



To use notion you must install the extra dependencies with `pip install --upgrade embedchain[community]`.

To load a notion page, use the data\_type as `notion`. Since it is hard to automatically detect, it is advised to specify the `data_type` when adding a notion document.
The next argument must **end** with the `notion page id`. The id is a 32-character string. Eg:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()

app.add("cfbc134ca6464fc980d0391613959196", data_type="notion")
app.add("my-page-cfbc134ca6464fc980d0391613959196", data_type="notion")
app.add("https://www.notion.so/my-page-cfbc134ca6464fc980d0391613959196", data_type="notion")

app.query("Summarize the notion doc")
```


# 🙌 OpenAPI
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/openapi



To add any OpenAPI spec yaml file (currently the json file will be detected as JSON data type), use the data\_type as 'openapi'. 'openapi' allows remote urls and conventional file paths.

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()

app.add("https://github.com/openai/openai-openapi/blob/master/openapi.yaml", data_type="openapi")
# Or add using the local file path
# app.add("configs/openai_openapi.yaml", data_type="openapi")

app.query("What can OpenAI API endpoint do? Can you list the things it can learn from?")
# Answer: The OpenAI API endpoint allows users to interact with OpenAI's models and perform various tasks such as generating text, answering questions, summarizing documents, translating languages, and more. The specific capabilities and tasks that the API can learn from may vary depending on the models and features provided by OpenAI. For more detailed information, it is recommended to refer to the OpenAI API documentation at https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference.
```

<Note>
  The yaml file added to the App must have the required OpenAPI fields otherwise the adding OpenAPI spec will fail. Please refer to [OpenAPI Spec Doc](https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.1.0)
</Note>

# 📰 PDF
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/pdf-file



You can load any pdf file from your local file system or through a URL.

## Usage

### Load from a local file

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App
app = App()
app.add('/path/to/file.pdf', data_type='pdf_file')
```

### Load from URL

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App
app = App()
app.add('https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.03762.pdf', data_type='pdf_file')
app.query("What is the paper 'attention is all you need' about?", citations=True)
# Answer: The paper "Attention Is All You Need" proposes a new network architecture called the Transformer, which is based solely on attention mechanisms. It suggests that complex recurrent or convolutional neural networks can be replaced with a simpler architecture that connects the encoder and decoder through attention. The paper discusses how this approach can improve sequence transduction models, such as neural machine translation.
# Contexts:
# [
#     (
#         'Provided proper attribution is ...',
#         {
#             'page': 0,
#             'url': 'https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.03762.pdf',
#             'score': 0.3676220203221626,
#             ...
#         }
#     ),
# ]
```

We also store the page number under the key `page` with each chunk that helps understand where the answer is coming from. You can fetch the `page` key while during retrieval (refer to the example given above).

<Note>
  Note that we do not support password protected pdf files.
</Note>


# 🐘 Postgres
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/postgres



1. Setup the Postgres loader by configuring the postgres db.

```Python theme={null}
from embedchain.loaders.postgres import PostgresLoader

config = {
    "host": "host_address",
    "port": "port_number",
    "dbname": "database_name",
    "user": "username",
    "password": "password",
}

"""
config = {
    "url": "your_postgres_url"
}
"""

postgres_loader = PostgresLoader(config=config)

```

You can either setup the loader by passing the postgresql url or by providing the config data.
For more details on how to setup with valid url and config, check postgres [documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING:~:text=34.1.1.%C2%A0Connection%20Strings-,%23,-Several%20libpq%20functions).

NOTE: if you provide the `url` field in config, all other fields will be ignored.

2. Once you setup the loader, you can create an app and load data using the above postgres loader

```Python theme={null}
import os
from embedchain.pipeline import Pipeline as App

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxx"

app = App()

question = "What is Elon Musk's networth?"
response = app.query(question)
# Answer: As of September 2021, Elon Musk's net worth is estimated to be around $250 billion, making him one of the wealthiest individuals in the world. However, please note that net worth can fluctuate over time due to various factors such as stock market changes and business ventures.

app.add("SELECT * FROM table_name;", data_type='postgres', loader=postgres_loader)
# Adds `(1, 'What is your net worth, Elon Musk?', "As of October 2023, Elon Musk's net worth is $255.2 billion.")`

response = app.query(question)
# Answer: As of October 2023, Elon Musk's net worth is $255.2 billion.
```

NOTE: The `add` function of the app will accept any executable query to load data. DO NOT pass the `CREATE`, `INSERT` queries in `add` function as they will result in not adding any data, so it is pointless.

3. We automatically create a chunker to chunk your postgres data, however if you wish to provide your own chunker class. Here is how you can do that:

```Python theme={null}

from embedchain.chunkers.postgres import PostgresChunker
from embedchain.config.add_config import ChunkerConfig

postgres_chunker_config = ChunkerConfig(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0, length_function=len)
postgres_chunker = PostgresChunker(config=postgres_chunker_config)

app.add("SELECT * FROM table_name;", data_type='postgres', loader=postgres_loader, chunker=postgres_chunker)
```


# ❓💬 Question and answer pair
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/qna



QnA pair is a local data type. To supply your own QnA pair, use the data\_type as `qna_pair` and enter a tuple. Eg:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()

app.add(("Question", "Answer"), data_type="qna_pair")
```


# 🗺️ Sitemap
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/sitemap



Add all web pages from an xml-sitemap. Filters non-text files. Use the data\_type as `sitemap`. Eg:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()

app.add('https://example.com/sitemap.xml', data_type='sitemap')
```


# 🤖 Slack
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/slack



## Pre-requisite

* Download required packages by running `pip install --upgrade "embedchain[slack]"`.
* Configure your slack bot token as environment variable `SLACK_USER_TOKEN`.
  * Find your user token on your [Slack Account](https://api.slack.com/authentication/token-types)
  * Make sure your slack user token includes [search](https://api.slack.com/scopes/search:read) scope.

## Example

### Get Started

This will automatically retrieve data from the workspace associated with the user's token.

```python theme={null}
import os
from embedchain import App

os.environ["SLACK_USER_TOKEN"] = "xoxp-xxx"
app = App()

app.add("in:general", data_type="slack")

result = app.query("what are the messages in general channel?")

print(result)
```

### Customize your SlackLoader

1. Setup the Slack loader by configuring the Slack Webclient.

```Python theme={null}
from embedchain.loaders.slack import SlackLoader

os.environ["SLACK_USER_TOKEN"] = "xoxp-*"

config = {
    'base_url': slack_app_url,
    'headers': web_headers,
    'team_id': slack_team_id,
}

loader = SlackLoader(config)
```

NOTE: you can also pass the `config` with `base_url`, `headers`, `team_id` to setup your SlackLoader.

2. Once you setup the loader, you can create an app and load data using the above slack loader

```Python theme={null}
import os
from embedchain.pipeline import Pipeline as App

app = App()

app.add("in:random", data_type="slack", loader=loader)
question = "Which bots are available in the slack workspace's random channel?"
# Answer: The available bot in the slack workspace's random channel is the Embedchain bot.
```

3. We automatically create a chunker to chunk your slack data, however if you wish to provide your own chunker class. Here is how you can do that:

```Python theme={null}
from embedchain.chunkers.slack import SlackChunker
from embedchain.config.add_config import ChunkerConfig

slack_chunker_config = ChunkerConfig(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=0, length_function=len)
slack_chunker = SlackChunker(config=slack_chunker_config)

app.add(slack_chunker, data_type="slack", loader=loader, chunker=slack_chunker)
```


# 📝 Substack
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/substack



To add any Substack data sources to your app, just add the main base url as the source and set the data\_type to `substack`.

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()

# source: for any substack just add the root URL
app.add('https://www.lennysnewsletter.com', data_type='substack')
app.query("Who is Brian Chesky?")
# Answer: Brian Chesky is the co-founder and CEO of Airbnb.
```


# 📝 Text
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/text



### Text

Text is a local data type. To supply your own text, use the data\_type as `text` and enter a string. The text is not processed, this can be very versatile. Eg:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()

app.add('Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.', data_type='text')
```

Note: This is not used in the examples because in most cases you will supply a whole paragraph or file, which did not fit.


# 🌐 HTML Web page
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/web-page



To add any web page, use the data\_type as `web_page`. Eg:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()

app.add('a_valid_web_page_url', data_type='web_page')
```


# 🧾 XML file
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/xml



### XML file

To add any xml file, use the data\_type as `xml`. Eg:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()

app.add('content/data.xml')
```

Note: Only the text content of the xml file will be added to the app. The tags will be ignored.


# 📽️ Youtube Channel
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/data-sources/youtube-channel



## Setup

Make sure you have all the required packages installed before using this data type. You can install them by running the following command in your terminal.

```bash theme={null}
pip install -U "embedchain[youtube]"
```

## Usage

To add all the videos from a youtube channel to your app, use the data\_type as `youtube_channel`.

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()
app.add("@channel_name", data_type="youtube_channel")

# 🔬 Evaluation
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/components/evaluation



## Overview

We provide out-of-the-box evaluation metrics for your RAG application. You can use them to evaluate your RAG applications and compare against different settings of your production RAG application.

Currently, we provide support for following evaluation metrics:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Context Relevancy" href="#context_relevancy" />

  <Card title="Answer Relevancy" href="#answer_relevancy" />

  <Card title="Groundedness" href="#groundedness" />

  <Card title="Custom Metric" href="#custom_metric" />
</CardGroup>

## Quickstart

Here is a basic example of running evaluation:

```python example.py theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()

# Add data sources
app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")

# Run evaluation
app.evaluate(["What is the net worth of Elon Musk?", "How many companies Elon Musk owns?"])
# {'answer_relevancy': 0.9987286412340826, 'groundedness': 1.0, 'context_relevancy': 0.3571428571428571}
```

Under the hood, Embedchain does the following:

1. Runs semantic search in the vector database and fetches context
2. LLM call with question, context to fetch the answer
3. Run evaluation on following metrics: `context relevancy`, `groundedness`, and `answer relevancy` and return result

## Advanced Usage

We use OpenAI's `gpt-4` model as default LLM model for automatic evaluation. Hence, we require you to set `OPENAI_API_KEY` as an environment variable.

### Step-1: Create dataset

In order to evaluate your RAG application, you have to setup a dataset. A data point in the dataset consists of `questions`, `contexts`, `answer`. Here is an example of how to create a dataset for evaluation:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain.utils.eval import EvalData

data = [
    {
        "question": "What is the net worth of Elon Musk?",
        "contexts": [
            "Elon Musk PROFILEElon MuskCEO, ...",
            "a Twitter poll on whether the journalists' ...",
            "2016 and run by Jared Birchall.[335]...",
        ],
        "answer": "As of the information provided, Elon Musk's net worth is $241.6 billion.",
    },
    {
        "question": "which companies does Elon Musk own?",
        "contexts": [
            "of December 2023[update], ...",
            "ThielCofounderView ProfileTeslaHolds ...",
            "Elon Musk PROFILEElon MuskCEO, ...",
        ],
        "answer": "Elon Musk owns several companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and The Boring Company.",
    },
]

dataset = []

for d in data:
    eval_data = EvalData(question=d["question"], contexts=d["contexts"], answer=d["answer"])
    dataset.append(eval_data)
```

### Step-2: Run evaluation

Once you have created your dataset, you can run evaluation on the dataset by picking the metric you want to run evaluation on.

For example, you can run evaluation on context relevancy metric using the following code:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain.evaluation.metrics import ContextRelevance
metric = ContextRelevance()
score = metric.evaluate(dataset)
print(score)
```

You can choose a different metric or write your own to run evaluation on. You can check the following links:

* [Context Relevancy](#context_relevancy)
* [Answer relenvancy](#answer_relevancy)
* [Groundedness](#groundedness)
* [Build your own metric](#custom_metric)

## Metrics

### Context Relevancy <a />

Context relevancy is a metric to determine "how relevant the context is to the question". We use OpenAI's `gpt-4` model to determine the relevancy of the context. We achieve this by prompting the model with the question and the context and asking it to return relevant sentences from the context. We then use the following formula to determine the score:

```
context_relevance_score = num_relevant_sentences_in_context / num_of_sentences_in_context
```

#### Examples

You can run the context relevancy evaluation with the following simple code:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain.evaluation.metrics import ContextRelevance

metric = ContextRelevance()
score = metric.evaluate(dataset)  # 'dataset' is definted in the create dataset section
print(score)
# 0.27975528364849833
```

In the above example, we used sensible defaults for the evaluation. However, you can also configure the evaluation metric as per your needs using the `ContextRelevanceConfig` class.

Here is a more advanced example of how to pass a custom evaluation config for evaluating on context relevance metric:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain.config.evaluation.base import ContextRelevanceConfig
from embedchain.evaluation.metrics import ContextRelevance

eval_config = ContextRelevanceConfig(model="gpt-4", api_key="sk-xxx", language="en")
metric = ContextRelevance(config=eval_config)
metric.evaluate(dataset)
```

#### `ContextRelevanceConfig`

<ParamField type="str">
  The model to use for the evaluation. Defaults to `gpt-4`. We only support openai's models for now.
</ParamField>

<ParamField type="str">
  The openai api key to use for the evaluation. Defaults to `None`. If not provided, we will use the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable.
</ParamField>

<ParamField type="str">
  The language of the dataset being evaluated. We need this to determine the understand the context provided in the dataset. Defaults to `en`.
</ParamField>

<ParamField type="str">
  The prompt to extract the relevant sentences from the context. Defaults to `CONTEXT_RELEVANCY_PROMPT`, which can be found at `embedchain.config.evaluation.base` path.
</ParamField>

### Answer Relevancy <a />

Answer relevancy is a metric to determine how relevant the answer is to the question. We prompt the model with the answer and asking it to generate questions from the answer. We then use the cosine similarity between the generated questions and the original question to determine the score.

```
answer_relevancy_score = mean(cosine_similarity(generated_questions, original_question))
```

#### Examples

You can run the answer relevancy evaluation with the following simple code:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain.evaluation.metrics import AnswerRelevance

metric = AnswerRelevance()
score = metric.evaluate(dataset)
print(score)
# 0.9505334177461916
```

In the above example, we used sensible defaults for the evaluation. However, you can also configure the evaluation metric as per your needs using the `AnswerRelevanceConfig` class. Here is a more advanced example where you can provide your own evaluation config:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain.config.evaluation.base import AnswerRelevanceConfig
from embedchain.evaluation.metrics import AnswerRelevance

eval_config = AnswerRelevanceConfig(
    model='gpt-4',
    embedder="text-embedding-ada-002",
    api_key="sk-xxx",
    num_gen_questions=2
)
metric = AnswerRelevance(config=eval_config)
score = metric.evaluate(dataset)
```

#### `AnswerRelevanceConfig`

<ParamField type="str">
  The model to use for the evaluation. Defaults to `gpt-4`. We only support openai's models for now.
</ParamField>

<ParamField type="str">
  The embedder to use for embedding the text. Defaults to `text-embedding-ada-002`. We only support openai's embedders for now.
</ParamField>

<ParamField type="str">
  The openai api key to use for the evaluation. Defaults to `None`. If not provided, we will use the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable.
</ParamField>

<ParamField type="int">
  The number of questions to generate for each answer. We use the generated questions to compare the similarity with the original question to determine the score. Defaults to `1`.
</ParamField>

<ParamField type="str">
  The prompt to extract the `num_gen_questions` number of questions from the provided answer. Defaults to `ANSWER_RELEVANCY_PROMPT`, which can be found at `embedchain.config.evaluation.base` path.
</ParamField>

## Groundedness <a />

Groundedness is a metric to determine how grounded the answer is to the context. We use OpenAI's `gpt-4` model to determine the groundedness of the answer. We achieve this by prompting the model with the answer and asking it to generate claims from the answer. We then again prompt the model with the context and the generated claims to determine the verdict on the claims. We then use the following formula to determine the score:

```
groundedness_score = (sum of all verdicts) / (total # of claims)
```

You can run the groundedness evaluation with the following simple code:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain.evaluation.metrics import Groundedness
metric = Groundedness()
score = metric.evaluate(dataset)    # dataset from above
print(score)
# 1.0
```

In the above example, we used sensible defaults for the evaluation. However, you can also configure the evaluation metric as per your needs using the `GroundednessConfig` class. Here is a more advanced example where you can configure the evaluation config:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain.config.evaluation.base import GroundednessConfig
from embedchain.evaluation.metrics import Groundedness

eval_config = GroundednessConfig(model='gpt-4', api_key="sk-xxx")
metric = Groundedness(config=eval_config)
score = metric.evaluate(dataset)
```

#### `GroundednessConfig`

<ParamField type="str">
  The model to use for the evaluation. Defaults to `gpt-4`. We only support openai's models for now.
</ParamField>

<ParamField type="str">
  The openai api key to use for the evaluation. Defaults to `None`. If not provided, we will use the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable.
</ParamField>

<ParamField type="str">
  The prompt to extract the claims from the provided answer. Defaults to `GROUNDEDNESS_ANSWER_CLAIMS_PROMPT`, which can be found at `embedchain.config.evaluation.base` path.
</ParamField>

<ParamField type="str">
  The prompt to get verdicts on the claims from the answer from the given context. Defaults to `GROUNDEDNESS_CLAIMS_INFERENCE_PROMPT`, which can be found at `embedchain.config.evaluation.base` path.
</ParamField>

## Custom <a />

You can also create your own evaluation metric by extending the `BaseMetric` class. You can find the source code for the existing metrics at `embedchain.evaluation.metrics` path.

<Note>
  You must provide the `name` of your custom metric in the `__init__` method of your class. This name will be used to identify your metric in the evaluation report.
</Note>

```python theme={null}
from typing import Optional

from embedchain.config.base_config import BaseConfig
from embedchain.evaluation.metrics import BaseMetric
from embedchain.utils.eval import EvalData

class MyCustomMetric(BaseMetric):
    def __init__(self, config: Optional[BaseConfig] = None):
        super().__init__(name="my_custom_metric")

    def evaluate(self, dataset: list[EvalData]):
        score = 0.0
        # write your evaluation logic here
        return score

## OpenAI

To use OpenAI LLM models, you have to set the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable. You can obtain the OpenAI API key from the [OpenAI Platform](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys).

Once you have obtained the key, you can use it like this:

```python theme={null}
import os
from embedchain import App

os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'xxx'

app = App()
app.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI")
app.query("What is OpenAI?")
```

If you are looking to configure the different parameters of the LLM, you can do so by loading the app using a [yaml config](https://github.com/embedchain/embedchain/blob/main/configs/chroma.yaml) file.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python main.py theme={null}
  import os
  from embedchain import App

  os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'xxx'

  # load llm configuration from config.yaml file
  app = App.from_config(config_path="config.yaml")
  ```

  ```yaml config.yaml theme={null}
  llm:
    provider: openai
    config:
      model: 'gpt-4o-mini'
      temperature: 0.5
      max_tokens: 1000
      top_p: 1
      stream: false
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Function Calling

Embedchain supports OpenAI [Function calling](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling) with a single function. It accepts inputs in accordance with the [Langchain interface](https://python.langchain.com/docs/modules/model_io/chat/function_calling#legacy-args-functions-and-function_call).

<Accordion title="Pydantic Model">
  ```python theme={null}
  from pydantic import BaseModel

  class multiply(BaseModel):
      """Multiply two integers together."""

      a: int = Field(..., description="First integer")
      b: int = Field(..., description="Second integer")
  ```
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Python function">
  ```python theme={null}
  def multiply(a: int, b: int) -> int:
      """Multiply two integers together.

      Args:
          a: First integer
          b: Second integer
      """
      return a * b
  ```
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="OpenAI tool dictionary">
  ```python theme={null}
  multiply = {
    "type": "function",
    "function": {
      "name": "multiply",
      "description": "Multiply two integers together.",
      "parameters": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
          "a": {
            "description": "First integer",
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "b": {
            "description": "Second integer",
            "type": "integer"
          }
        },
        "required": [
          "a",
          "b"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
  ```
</Accordion>

With any of the previous inputs, the OpenAI LLM can be queried to provide the appropriate arguments for the function.

```python theme={null}
import os
from embedchain import App
from embedchain.llm.openai import OpenAILlm

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxx"

llm = OpenAILlm(tools=multiply)
app = App(llm=llm)

result = app.query("What is the result of 125 multiplied by fifteen?")
```

## Google AI

To use Google AI model, you have to set the `GOOGLE_API_KEY` environment variable. You can obtain the Google API key from the [Google Maker Suite](https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey)

  response = app.query("What is the net worth of Elon Musk?")
  if app.llm.config.stream: # if stream is enabled, response is a generator
      for chunk in response:
          print(chunk)
  else:
      print(response)
  ```

  ```yaml config.yaml theme={null}

In order to use LLMs from NVIDIA AI, create an account on [NVIDIA NGC Service](https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/).

Generate an API key from their dashboard. Set the API key as `NVIDIA_API_KEY` environment variable. Note that the `NVIDIA_API_KEY` will start with `nvapi-`.

Below is an example of how to use LLM model and embedding model from NVIDIA AI:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python main.py theme={null}
  import os
  from embedchain import App

  os.environ['NVIDIA_API_KEY'] = 'nvapi-xxxx'

  config = {
      "app": {
          "config": {
              "id": "my-app",
          },
      },
      "llm": {
          "provider": "nvidia",
          "config": {
              "model": "nemotron_steerlm_8b",
          },
      },
      "embedder": {
          "provider": "nvidia",
          "config": {
              "model": "nvolveqa_40k",
              "vector_dimension": 1024,
          },
      },
  }

  app = App.from_config(config=config)

  app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")
  answer = app.query("What is the net worth of Elon Musk today?")
  # Answer: The net worth of Elon Musk is subject to fluctuations based on the market value of his holdings in various companies.
  # As of March 1, 2024, his net worth is estimated to be approximately $210 billion. However, this figure can change rapidly due to stock market fluctuations and other factors.
  # Additionally, his net worth may include other assets such as real estate and art, which are not reflected in his stock portfolio.
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Token Usage

You can get the cost of the query by setting `token_usage` to `True` in the config file. This will return the token details: `prompt_tokens`, `completion_tokens`, `total_tokens`, `total_cost`, `cost_currency`.
The list of paid LLMs that support token usage are:

* OpenAI
* Vertex AI
* Anthropic
* Cohere
* Together
* Groq
* Mistral AI
* NVIDIA AI

Here is an example of how to use token usage:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python main.py theme={null}
  os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "xxx"

  app = App.from_config(config_path="config.yaml")

  app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")

  response = app.query("what is the net worth of Elon Musk?")
  # {'answer': 'Elon Musk's net worth is $209.9 billion as of 6/9/24.',
  #   'usage': {'prompt_tokens': 1228,
  #   'completion_tokens': 21, 
  #   'total_tokens': 1249, 
  #   'total_cost': 0.001884, 
  #   'cost_currency': 'USD'}
  # }


  response = app.chat("Which companies did Elon Musk found?")
  # {'answer': 'Elon Musk founded six companies, including Tesla, which is an electric car maker, SpaceX, a rocket producer, and the Boring Company, a tunneling startup.',
  #   'usage': {'prompt_tokens': 1616,
  #   'completion_tokens': 34,
  #   'total_tokens': 1650,
  #   'total_cost': 0.002492,
  #   'cost_currency': 'USD'}
  # }
  ```

  ```yaml config.yaml theme={null}
  llm:
    provider: openai
    config:
      model: gpt-4o-mini
      temperature: 0.5
      max_tokens: 1000
      token_usage: true
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Usage

### Hybrid search

Here is an example of how you can do hybrid search using Pinecone as a vector database through Embedchain.

```python theme={null}
import os

from embedchain import App

config = {
    'app': {
        "config": {
            "id": "ec-docs-hybrid-search"
        }
    },
    'vectordb': {
        'provider': 'pinecone',
        'config': {
            'metric': 'dotproduct',
            'vector_dimension': 1536,
            'index_name': 'my-index',
            'serverless_config': {
                'cloud': 'aws',
                'region': 'us-west-2'
            },
            'hybrid_search': True, # Remember to set this for hybrid search
        }
    }
}

# Initialize app
app = App.from_config(config=config)

# Add documents
app.add("/path/to/file.pdf", data_type="pdf_file", namespace="my-namespace")

# Query
app.query("<YOUR QUESTION HERE>", namespace="my-namespace")

# Chat
app.chat("<YOUR QUESTION HERE>", namespace="my-namespace")
```

Under the hood, Embedchain fetches the relevant chunks from the documents you added by doing hybrid search on the pinecone index.
If you have questions on how pinecone hybrid search works, please refer to their [offical documentation here](https://docs.pinecone.io/docs/hybrid-search).

# Fly.io
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/deployment/fly_io

Deploy your RAG application to fly.io platform

Embedchain has a nice and simple abstraction on top of the [Fly.io](https://fly.io/) tools to let developers deploy RAG application to fly.io platform seamlessly.

Follow the instructions given below to deploy your first application quickly:

## Step-1: Install flyctl command line

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash OSX theme={null}
  brew install flyctl
  ```

  ```bash Linux theme={null}
  curl -L https://fly.io/install.sh | sh
  ```

  ```bash Windows theme={null}
  pwsh -Command "iwr https://fly.io/install.ps1 -useb | iex"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Once you have installed the fly.io cli tool, signup/login to their platform using the following command:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Sign up theme={null}
  fly auth signup
  ```

  ```bash Sign in theme={null}
  fly auth login
  ```
</CodeGroup>

In case you run into issues, refer to official [fly.io docs](https://fly.io/docs/hands-on/install-flyctl/).

## Step-2: Create RAG app

We provide a command line utility called `ec` in embedchain that inherits the template for `fly.io` platform and help you deploy the app. Follow the instructions to create a fly.io app using the template provided:

```bash Install embedchain theme={null}
pip install embedchain
```

```bash Create application theme={null}
mkdir my-rag-app
ec create --template=fly.io
```

This will generate a directory structure like this:

```bash theme={null}
├── Dockerfile
├── app.py
├── fly.toml
├── .env
├── .env.example
├── embedchain.json
└── requirements.txt
```

Feel free to edit the files as required.

* `Dockerfile`: Defines the steps to setup the application
* `app.py`: Contains API app code
* `fly.toml`: fly.io config file
* `.env`: Contains environment variables for production
* `.env.example`: Contains dummy environment variables (can ignore this file)
* `embedchain.json`: Contains embedchain specific configuration for deployment (you don't need to configure this)
* `requirements.txt`: Contains python dependencies for your application

## Step-3: Test app locally

You can run the app locally by simply doing:

```bash Run locally theme={null}
pip install -r requirements.txt
ec dev
```

## Step-4: Deploy to fly.io

You can deploy to fly.io using the following command:

```bash Deploy app theme={null}
ec deploy
```

Once this step finished, it will provide you with the deployment endpoint where you can access the app live. It will look something like this (Swagger docs):

You can also check the logs, monitor app status etc on their dashboard by running command `fly dashboard`.

```bash Install embedchain theme={null}
pip install embedchain
```

```bash Create application theme={null}
mkdir my-rag-app
ec create --template=gradio.app
```

This will generate a directory structure like this:

```bash theme={null}

├── embedchain.json
└── requirements.txt
```

Feel free to edit the files as required.

* `app.py`: Contains API app code
* `embedchain.json`: Contains embedchain specific configuration for deployment (you don't need to configure this)
* `requirements.txt`: Contains python dependencies for your application

## Step-2: Test app locally

You can run the app locally by simply doing:

```bash Run locally theme={null}
pip install -r requirements.txt
ec dev
```

## Step-3: Deploy to gradio.app

# Huggingface.co
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/deployment/huggingface_spaces

Deploy your RAG application to huggingface.co platform

With Embedchain, you can directly host your apps in just three steps to huggingface spaces where you can view and deploy your app to the world.

We support two types of deployment to huggingface spaces:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="" href="#using-streamlit-io">
    Streamlit.io
  </Card>

  <Card title="" href="#using-gradio-app">
    Gradio.app
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Using streamlit.io

### Step 1: Create a new RAG app

Create a new RAG app using the following command:

```bash theme={null}
mkdir my-rag-app
ec create --template=hf/streamlit.io # inside my-rag-app directory
```

When you run this for the first time, you'll be asked to login to huggingface.co. Once you login, you'll need to create a **write** token. You can create a write token by going to [huggingface.co settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/token). Once you create a token, you'll be asked to enter the token in the terminal.

This will also create an `embedchain.json` file in your app directory. Add a `name` key into the `embedchain.json` file. This will be the "repo-name" of your app in huggingface spaces.

```json embedchain.json theme={null}
{
    "name": "my-rag-app",
    "provider": "hf/streamlit.io"
}
```

### Step-2: Test app locally

You can run the app locally by simply doing:

```bash Run locally theme={null}
pip install -r requirements.txt
ec dev
```

### Step-3: Deploy to huggingface spaces

```bash Deploy to huggingface spaces theme={null}
ec deploy
```

This will deploy your app to huggingface spaces. You can view your app at `https://huggingface.co/spaces/<your-username>/my-rag-app`. This will get prompted in the terminal once the app is deployed.

## Using gradio.app

Similar to streamlit.io, you can deploy your app to gradio.app in just three steps.

### Step 1: Create a new RAG app

Create a new RAG app using the following command:

```bash theme={null}
mkdir my-rag-app
ec create --template=hf/gradio.app # inside my-rag-app directory
```

When you run this for the first time, you'll be asked to login to huggingface.co. Once you login, you'll need to create a **write** token. You can create a write token by going to [huggingface.co settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/token). Once you create a token, you'll be asked to enter the token in the terminal.

This will also create an `embedchain.json` file in your app directory. Add a `name` key into the `embedchain.json` file. This will be the "repo-name" of your app in huggingface spaces.

```json embedchain.json theme={null}
{
    "name": "my-rag-app",
    "provider": "hf/gradio.app"
}
```

### Step-2: Test app locally

You can run the app locally by simply doing:

```bash Run locally theme={null}
pip install -r requirements.txt
ec dev
```

### Step-3: Deploy to huggingface spaces

```bash Deploy to huggingface spaces theme={null}
ec deploy
```

This will deploy your app to huggingface spaces. You can view your app at `https://huggingface.co/spaces/<your-username>/my-rag-app`. This will get prompted in the terminal once the app is deployed.

# Railway.app
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/deployment/railway

Deploy your RAG application to railway.app

It's easy to host your Embedchain-powered apps and APIs on railway.

Follow the instructions given below to deploy your first application quickly:

## Step-1: Create RAG app

```bash Install embedchain theme={null}
pip install embedchain
```

<Tip>
  **Create a full stack app using Embedchain CLI**

  To use your hosted embedchain RAG app, you can easily set up a FastAPI server that can be used anywhere.
  To easily set up a FastAPI server, check out [Get started with Full stack](https://docs.embedchain.ai/get-started/full-stack) page.

  Hosting this server on railway is super easy!
</Tip>

## Step-2: Set up your project

### With Docker

You can create a `Dockerfile` in the root of the project, with all the instructions. However, this method is sometimes slower in deployment.

### Without Docker

By default, Railway uses Python 3.7. Embedchain requires the python version to be >3.9 in order to install.

To fix this, create a `.python-version` file in the root directory of your project and specify the correct version

```bash .python-version theme={null}
3.10

# Render.com
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/deployment/render_com

Deploy your RAG application to render.com platform

Embedchain has a nice and simple abstraction on top of the [render.com](https://render.com/) tools to let developers deploy RAG application to render.com platform seamlessly.

Follow the instructions given below to deploy your first application quickly:

## Step-1: Install `render` command line

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash OSX theme={null}
  brew tap render-oss/render
  brew install render
  ```

  ```bash Linux theme={null}
  # Make sure you have deno installed -> https://docs.render.com/docs/cli#from-source-unsupported-operating-systems
  git clone https://github.com/render-oss/render-cli
  cd render-cli
  make deps
  deno task run
  deno compile
  ```

  ```bash Windows theme={null}
  choco install rendercli
  ```
</CodeGroup>

In case you run into issues, refer to official [render.com docs](https://docs.render.com/docs/cli).

## Step-2 Create RAG application:

We provide a command line utility called `ec` in embedchain that inherits the template for `render.com` platform and help you deploy the app. Follow the instructions to create a render.com app using the template provided:

```bash Create application theme={null}
pip install embedchain
mkdir my-rag-app
ec create --template=render.com
```

This `create` command will open a browser window and ask you to login to your render.com account and will generate a directory structure like this:

```bash theme={null}
├── app.py
├── .env
├── render.yaml
├── embedchain.json
└── requirements.txt
```

Feel free to edit the files as required.

* `app.py`: Contains API app code
* `.env`: Contains environment variables for production
* `render.yaml`: Contains render.com specific configuration for deployment (configure this according to your needs, follow [this](https://docs.render.com/docs/blueprint-spec) for more info)
* `embedchain.json`: Contains embedchain specific configuration for deployment (you don't need to configure this)
* `requirements.txt`: Contains python dependencies for your application

## Step-3: Test app locally

You can run the app locally by simply doing:

```bash Run locally theme={null}
pip install -r requirements.txt
ec dev
```

## Step-4: Deploy to render.com

Before deploying to render.com, you only have to set up one thing.

In the render.yaml file, make sure to modify the repo key by inserting the URL of your Git repository where your application will be hosted. You can create a repository from [GitHub](https://github.com) or [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in).

After that, you're ready to deploy on render.com.

```bash Deploy app theme={null}
ec deploy
```

When you run this, it should open up your render dashboard and you can see the app being deployed. You can find your hosted link over there only.

You can also check the logs, monitor app status etc on their dashboard by running command `render dashboard`.

# Nextjs assistant
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/examples/nextjs-assistant



Fork the Embedchain repo on [Github](https://github.com/embedchain/embedchain) to create your own NextJS discord and slack bot powered by Embedchain.

If you run into problems with forking, please refer to [github docs](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/fork-a-repo) for forking a repo.

We will work from the `examples/nextjs` folder so change your current working directory by running the command - `cd <your_forked_repo>/examples/nextjs`

# Installation

First, lets start by install all the required packages and dependencies.

* Install all the required python packages by running `pip install -r requirements.txt`

* We will use [Fly.io](https://fly.io/) to deploy our embedchain app, discord and slack bot. Follow the step one to install [Fly.io CLI](https://docs.embedchain.ai/deployment/fly_io#step-1-install-flyctl-command-line)

# Developement

## Embedchain App

First, we need an Embedchain app powered with the knowledge of NextJS. We have already created an embedchain app using FastAPI in `ec_app` folder for you. Feel free to ingest data of your choice to power the App.

<Note>
  Navigate to `ec_app` folder and create `.env` file in this folder and set your OpenAI API key as shown in `.env.example` file. If you want to use other open-source models, feel free to use the app config in `app.py`. More details for using custom configuration for Embedchain app is [available here](https://docs.embedchain.ai/api-reference/advanced/configuration).
</Note>

Before running the ec commands to develope the app, open `fly.toml` file and update the `name` variable to something unique. This is important as `fly.io` requires users to provide a globally unique deployment app names.

Now, we need to launch this application with fly.io. You can see your app on [fly.io dashboard](https://fly.io/dashboard). Run the following command to launch your app on fly.io:

```bash theme={null}
fly launch --no-deploy
```

To run the app in development, run the following command:

```bash theme={null}
ec dev
```

Run `ec deploy` to deploy your app on Fly.io. Once you deploy your app, save the endpoint on which our discord and slack bot will send requests.

## Discord bot

For discord bot, you will need to create the bot on discord developer portal and get the discord bot token and your discord bot name.

While keeping in mind the following note, create the discord bot by following the instructions from our [discord bot docs](https://docs.embedchain.ai/examples/discord_bot) and get discord bot token.

<Note>
  You do not need to set `OPENAI_API_KEY` to run this discord bot. Follow the remaining instructions to create a discord bot app. We recommend you to give the following sets of bot permissions to run the discord bot without errors:

  ```
  (General Permissions)
  Read Message/View Channels

  (Text Permissions)
  Send Messages
  Create Public Thread
  Create Private Thread
  Send Messages in Thread
  Manage Threads
  Embed Links
  Read Message History
  ```
</Note>

Once you have your discord bot token and discord app name. Navigate to `nextjs_discord` folder and create `.env` file and define your discord bot token, discord bot name and endpoint of your embedchain app as shown in `.env.example` file.

To run the app in development:

```bash theme={null}
python app.py
```

Before deploying the app, open `fly.toml` file and update the `name` variable to something unique. This is important as `fly.io` requires users to provide a globally unique deployment app names.

Now, we need to launch this application with fly.io. You can see your app on [fly.io dashboard](https://fly.io/dashboard). Run the following command to launch your app on fly.io:

```bash theme={null}
fly launch --no-deploy
```

Run `ec deploy` to deploy your app on Fly.io. Once you deploy your app, your discord bot will be live!

## Slack bot

For Slack bot, you will need to create the bot on slack developer portal and get the slack bot token and slack app token.

### Setup

* Create a workspace on Slack if you don't have one already by clicking [here](https://slack.com/intl/en-in/).
* Create a new App on your Slack account by going [here](https://api.slack.com/apps).
* Select `From Scratch`, then enter the Bot Name and select your workspace.
* Go to `App Credentials` section on the `Basic Information` tab from the left sidebar, create your app token and save it in your `.env` file as `SLACK_APP_TOKEN`.
* Go to `Socket Mode` tab from the left sidebar and enable the socket mode to listen to slack message from your workspace.
* (Optional) Under the `App Home` tab you can change your App display name and default name.
* Navigate to `Event Subscription` tab, and enable the event subscription so that we can listen to slack events.
* Once you enable the event subscription, you will need to subscribe to bot events to authorize the bot to listen to app mention events of the bot. Do that by tapping on `Add Bot User Event` button and select `app_mention`.
* On the left Sidebar, go to `OAuth and Permissions` and add the following scopes under `Bot Token Scopes`:

```text theme={null}
app_mentions:read
channels:history
channels:read
chat:write
emoji:read
reactions:write
reactions:read
```

* Now select the option `Install to Workspace` and after it's done, copy the `Bot User OAuth Token` and set it in your `.env` file as `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN`.

Once you have your slack bot token and slack app token. Navigate to `nextjs_slack` folder and create `.env` file and define your slack bot token, slack app token and endpoint of your embedchain app as shown in `.env.example` file.

To run the app in development:

```bash theme={null}
python app.py
```

Before deploying the app, open `fly.toml` file and update the `name` variable to something unique. This is important as `fly.io` requires users to provide a globally unique deployment app names.

Now, we need to launch this application with fly.io. You can see your app on [fly.io dashboard](https://fly.io/dashboard). Run the following command to launch your app on fly.io:

```bash theme={null}
fly launch --no-deploy
```

Run `ec deploy` to deploy your app on Fly.io. Once you deploy your app, your slack bot will be live!

# OpenAI Assistant

<img alt="OpenAI Logo" />

Embedchain now supports [OpenAI Assistants API](https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/overview) which allows you to build AI assistants within your own applications. An Assistant has instructions and can leverage models, tools, and knowledge to respond to user queries.

At a high level, an integration of the Assistants API has the following flow:

1. Create an Assistant in the API by defining custom instructions and picking a model
2. Create a Thread when a user starts a conversation
3. Add Messages to the Thread as the user ask questions
4. Run the Assistant on the Thread to trigger responses. This automatically calls the relevant tools.

Creating an OpenAI Assistant using Embedchain is very simple 3 step process.

## Step 1: Create OpenAI Assistant

Make sure that you have `OPENAI_API_KEY` set in the environment variable.

```python Initialize theme={null}
from embedchain.store.assistants import OpenAIAssistant

assistant = OpenAIAssistant(
    name="OpenAI DevDay Assistant",
    instructions="You are an organizer of OpenAI DevDay",
)
```

If you want to use the existing assistant, you can do something like this:

```python Initialize theme={null}
# Load an assistant and create a new thread
assistant = OpenAIAssistant(assistant_id="asst_xxx")

# Load a specific thread for an assistant
assistant = OpenAIAssistant(assistant_id="asst_xxx", thread_id="thread_xxx")
```

## Step-2: Add data to thread

You can add any custom data source that is supported by Embedchain. Else, you can directly pass the file path on your local system and Embedchain propagates it to OpenAI Assistant.

```python Add data theme={null}
assistant.add("/path/to/file.pdf")
assistant.add("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9mJuUkhUzk")
assistant.add("https://openai.com/blog/new-models-and-developer-products-announced-at-devday")
```

## Step-3: Chat with your Assistant

```python Chat theme={null}
assistant.chat("How much OpenAI credits were offered to attendees during OpenAI DevDay?")
# Response: 'Every attendee of OpenAI DevDay 2023 was offered $500 in OpenAI credits.'
```

You can try it out yourself using the following Google Colab notebook:

# Open-Source AI Assistant
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/examples/opensource-assistant



Embedchain also provides support for creating Open-Source AI Assistants (similar to [OpenAI Assistants API](https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/overview)) which allows you to build AI assistants within your own applications using any LLM (OpenAI or otherwise). An Assistant has instructions and can leverage models, tools, and knowledge to respond to user queries.

At a high level, the Open-Source AI Assistants API has the following flow:

1. Create an AI Assistant by picking a model
2. Create a Thread when a user starts a conversation
3. Add Messages to the Thread as the user ask questions
4. Run the Assistant on the Thread to trigger responses. This automatically calls the relevant tools.

Creating an Open-Source AI Assistant is a simple 3 step process.

## Step 1: Instantiate AI Assistant

```python Initialize theme={null}
from embedchain.store.assistants import AIAssistant

assistant = AIAssistant(
    name="My Assistant",
    data_sources=[{"source": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9mJuUkhUzk"}])
```

If you want to use the existing assistant, you can do something like this:

```python Initialize theme={null}
# Load an assistant and create a new thread
assistant = AIAssistant(assistant_id="asst_xxx")

# Load a specific thread for an assistant
assistant = AIAssistant(assistant_id="asst_xxx", thread_id="thread_xxx")
```

## Step-2: Add data to thread

You can add any custom data source that is supported by Embedchain. Else, you can directly pass the file path on your local system and Embedchain propagates it to OpenAI Assistant.

```python Add data theme={null}
assistant.add("/path/to/file.pdf")
assistant.add("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9mJuUkhUzk")
assistant.add("https://openai.com/blog/new-models-and-developer-products-announced-at-devday")
```

## Step-3: Chat with your AI Assistant

```python Chat theme={null}
assistant.chat("How much OpenAI credits were offered to attendees during OpenAI DevDay?")
# Response: 'Every attendee of OpenAI DevDay 2023 was offered $500 in OpenAI credits.'
```


# 🔮 Poe Bot
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/examples/poe_bot



### 🚀 Getting started

1. Install embedchain python package:

```bash theme={null}
pip install fastapi-poe==0.0.16 
```

2. Create a free account on [Poe](https://www.poe.com?utm_source=embedchain).
3. Click "Create Bot" button on top left.
4. Give it a handle and an optional description.
5. Select `Use API`.
6. Under `API URL` enter your server or ngrok address. You can use your machine's public IP or DNS. Otherwise, employ a proxy server like [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) to make your local bot accessible.
7. Copy your api key and paste it in `.env` as `POE_API_KEY`.
8. You will need to set `OPENAI_API_KEY` for generating embeddings and using LLM. Copy your OpenAI API key from [here](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys) and paste it in `.env` as `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
9. Now create your bot using the following code snippet.

```bash theme={null}
# make sure that you have set OPENAI_API_KEY and POE_API_KEY in .env file
from embedchain.bots import PoeBot

poe_bot = PoeBot()

# add as many data sources as you want
poe_bot.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_D%27Angelo")
poe_bot.add("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJQVAqmKua8")

# start the bot
# this start the poe bot server on port 8080 by default
poe_bot.start()
```

10. You can paste the above in a file called `your_script.py` and then simply do

```bash theme={null}
python your_script.py
```

Now your bot will start running at port `8080` by default.

11. You can refer the [Supported Data formats](https://docs.embedchain.ai/advanced/data_types) section to refer the supported data types in embedchain.

12. Click `Run check` to make sure your machine can be reached.

13. Make sure your bot is private if that's what you want.

14. Click `Create bot` at the bottom to finally create the bot

15. Now your bot is created.

### 💬 How to use

* To ask the bot questions, just type your query in the Poe interface:

```text theme={null}
<your-question-here>
```

* If you wish to add more data source to the bot, simply update your script and add as many `.add` as you like. You need to restart the server.

get /ping
Endpoint to check the status of the API

<RequestExample>
  ```bash Request theme={null}
    curl --request GET \
      --url http://localhost:8080/ping
  ```
</RequestExample>

<ResponseExample>
  ```json Response theme={null}
  { "ping": "pong" }
  ```
</ResponseExample>


# Create app
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/examples/rest-api/create

post /create

  ```
</RequestExample>

<ResponseExample>
  ```json Response theme={null}
  { "response": "App created successfully. App ID: app1" }
  ```
</ResponseExample>

By default we will use the opensource **gpt4all** model to get started. You can also specify your own config by uploading a config YAML file.

For example, create a `config.yaml` file (adjust according to your requirements):

```yaml theme={null}
app:
  config:
    id: "default-app"

llm:
  provider: openai
  config:
    model: "gpt-4o-mini"
    temperature: 0.5
    max_tokens: 1000
    top_p: 1
    stream: false
    prompt: |
      Use the following pieces of context to answer the query at the end.
      If you don't know the answer, just say that you don't know, don't try to make up an answer.

      $context

      Query: $query

      Helpful Answer:

vectordb:
  provider: chroma
  config:
    collection_name: "rest-api-app"
    dir: db
    allow_reset: true

embedder:
  provider: openai
  config:
    model: "text-embedding-ada-002"
```

To learn more about custom configurations, check out the [custom configurations docs](https://docs.embedchain.ai/advanced/configuration). To explore more examples of config yamls for embedchain, visit [embedchain/configs](https://github.com/embedchain/embedchain/tree/main/configs).

Now, you can upload this config file in the request body.

For example,

```bash Request theme={null}
curl --request POST \
  --url http://localhost:8080/create?app_id=my-app \
  -F "config=@/path/to/config.yaml"
```

**Note:** To use custom models, an **API key** might be required. Refer to the table below to determine the necessary API key for your provider.

# Slack AI
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/examples/slack-AI



[Embedchain Examples Repo](https://github.com/embedchain/examples) contains code on how to build your own Slack AI to chat with the unstructured data lying in your slack channels.

<img alt="Slack AI Demo" />

## Getting started

Create a Slack AI involves 3 steps

* Create slack user
* Set environment variables
* Run the app locally

### Step 1: Create Slack user token

Follow the steps given below to fetch your slack user token to get data through Slack APIs:

1. Create a workspace on Slack if you don’t have one already by clicking [here](https://slack.com/intl/en-in/).

2. Create a new App on your Slack account by going [here](https://api.slack.com/apps).

3. Select `From Scratch`, then enter the App Name and select your workspace.

4. Navigate to `OAuth & Permissions` tab from the left sidebar and go to the `scopes` section. Add the following scopes under `User Token Scopes`:

   ```
   # Following scopes are needed for reading channel history
   channels:history
   channels:read

   # Following scopes are needed to fetch list of channels from slack
   groups:read
   mpim:read
   im:read
   ```

5. Click on the `Install to Workspace` button under `OAuth Tokens for Your Workspace` section in the same page and install the app in your slack workspace.

6. After installing the app you will see the `User OAuth Token`, save that token as you will need to configure it as `SLACK_USER_TOKEN` for this demo.

### Step 2: Set environment variables

Navigate to `api` folder and set your `HUGGINGFACE_ACCESS_TOKEN` and `SLACK_USER_TOKEN` in `.env.example` file. Then rename the `.env.example` file to `.env`.

<Note>
  By default, we use `Mixtral` model from Hugging Face. However, if you prefer to use OpenAI model, then set `OPENAI_API_KEY` instead of `HUGGINGFACE_ACCESS_TOKEN` along with `SLACK_USER_TOKEN` in `.env` file, and update the code in `api/utils/app.py` file to use OpenAI model instead of Hugging Face model.
</Note>

### Step 3: Run app locally

Follow the instructions given below to run app locally based on your development setup (with docker or without docker):

#### With docker

```bash theme={null}
docker-compose build
ec start --docker
```

#### Without docker

```bash theme={null}
ec install-reqs
ec start
```

Finally, you will have the Slack AI frontend running on [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000). You can also access the REST APIs on [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000).

## Credits

This demo was built using the Embedchain's [full stack demo template](https://docs.embedchain.ai/get-started/full-stack). Follow the instructions [given here](https://docs.embedchain.ai/get-started/full-stack) to create your own full stack RAG application.


# 💼 Slack Bot
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/examples/slack_bot



### 🖼️ Setup

1. Create a workspace on Slack if you don't have one already by clicking [here](https://slack.com/intl/en-in/).
2. Create a new App on your Slack account by going [here](https://api.slack.com/apps).
3. Select `From Scratch`, then enter the Bot Name and select your workspace.
4. On the left Sidebar, go to `OAuth and Permissions` and add the following scopes under `Bot Token Scopes`:

```text theme={null}
app_mentions:read
channels:history
channels:read
chat:write
```

5. Now select the option `Install to Workspace` and after it's done, copy the `Bot User OAuth Token` and set it in your secrets as `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN`.
6. Run your bot now,

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="docker">
    ```bash theme={null}
    docker run --name slack-bot -e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxx -e SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xxx -p 8000:8000 embedchain/slack-bot
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="python">
    ```bash theme={null}
    pip install --upgrade "embedchain[slack]"
    python3 -m embedchain.bots.slack --port 8000
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

7. Expose your bot to the internet. You can use your machine's public IP or DNS. Otherwise, employ a proxy server like [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) to make your local bot accessible.
8. On the Slack API website go to `Event Subscriptions` on the left Sidebar and turn on `Enable Events`.
9. In `Request URL`, enter your server or ngrok address.
10. After it gets verified, click on `Subscribe to bot events`, add `message.channels` Bot User Event and click on `Save Changes`.
11. Now go to your workspace, right click on the bot name in the sidebar, click `view app details`, then `add this app to a channel`.

### 🚀 Usage Instructions

* Go to the channel where you have added your bot.
* To add data sources to the bot, use the command:

```text theme={null}
add <data_type> <url_or_text>
```

* To ask queries from the bot, use the command:

```text theme={null}
query <question>
```

🎉 Happy Chatting! 🎉


# 📱 Telegram Bot
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/examples/telegram_bot



### 🖼️ Template Setup

* Open the Telegram app and search for the `BotFather` user.
* Start a chat with BotFather and use the `/newbot` command to create a new bot.

    ```

    <Note>
      If you wish to use **Docker**, you would need to host your bot on a server.
      You can use [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) to expose your localhost to the
      internet and then set the webhook using the ngrok URL.
    </Note>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="replit">
    <Card>
      Fork <ins>**[this](https://replit.com/@taranjeetio/EC-Telegram-Bot-Template?v=1#README.md)**</ins> replit template.

  <Tab title="python">
    ```bash theme={null}
    python -m embedchain.bots.whatsapp --port 5000
    ```
  </Tab>

# 📚 Introduction
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/get-started/introduction



## What is Embedchain?

Embedchain is an Open Source Framework that makes it easy to create and deploy personalized AI apps. At its core, Embedchain follows the design principle of being *"Conventional but Configurable"* to serve both software engineers and machine learning engineers.

Embedchain streamlines the creation of personalized LLM applications, offering a seamless process for managing various types of unstructured data. It efficiently segments data into manageable chunks, generates relevant embeddings, and stores them in a vector database for optimized retrieval. With a suite of diverse APIs, it enables users to extract contextual information, find precise answers, or engage in interactive chat conversations, all tailored to their own data.

## Who is Embedchain for?

Embedchain is designed for a diverse range of users, from AI professionals like Data Scientists and Machine Learning Engineers to those just starting their AI journey, including college students, independent developers, and hobbyists. Essentially, it's for anyone with an interest in AI, regardless of their expertise level.

Our APIs are user-friendly yet adaptable, enabling beginners to effortlessly create LLM-powered applications with as few as 4 lines of code. At the same time, we offer extensive customization options for every aspect of building a personalized AI application. This includes the choice of LLMs, vector databases, loaders and chunkers, retrieval strategies, re-ranking, and more.

Our platform's clear and well-structured abstraction layers ensure that users can tailor the system to meet their specific needs, whether they're crafting a simple project or a complex, nuanced AI application.

## Why Use Embedchain?

Developing a personalized AI application for production use presents numerous complexities, such as:

* Integrating and indexing data from diverse sources.
* Determining optimal data chunking methods for each source.
* Synchronizing the RAG pipeline with regularly updated data sources.
* Implementing efficient data storage in a vector store.
* Deciding whether to include metadata with document chunks.
* Handling permission management.
* Configuring Large Language Models (LLMs).
* Selecting effective prompts.
* Choosing suitable retrieval strategies.
* Assessing the performance of your RAG pipeline.
* Deploying the pipeline into a production environment, among other concerns.

Embedchain is designed to simplify these tasks, offering conventional yet customizable APIs. Our solution handles the intricate processes of loading, chunking, indexing, and retrieving data. This enables you to concentrate on aspects that are crucial for your specific use case or business objectives, ensuring a smoother and more focused development process.

## How it works?

Embedchain makes it easy to add data to your RAG pipeline with these straightforward steps:

1. **Automatic Data Handling**: It automatically recognizes the data type and loads it.
2. **Efficient Data Processing**: The system creates embeddings for key parts of your data.
3. **Flexible Data Storage**: You get to choose where to store this processed data in a vector database.

When a user asks a question, whether for chatting, searching, or querying, Embedchain simplifies the response process:

1. **Query Processing**: It turns the user's question into embeddings.
2. **Document Retrieval**: These embeddings are then used to find related documents in the database.
3. **Answer Generation**: The related documents are used by the LLM to craft a precise answer.

With Embedchain, you don’t have to worry about the complexities of building a personalized AI application. It offers an easy-to-use interface for developing applications with any kind of data.

## Open Source Models

This section gives a quickstart example of using Mistral as the Open source LLM and Sentence transformers as the Open source embedding model. These models are free and run mostly on your local machine.

We are using Mistral hosted at Hugging Face, so will you need a Hugging Face token to run this example. Its *free* and you can create one [here](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/security-tokens).

<CodeGroup>
  ```python huggingface_demo.py theme={null}
  import os
  # Replace this with your HF token
  os.environ["HUGGINGFACE_ACCESS_TOKEN"] = "hf_xxxx"

  from embedchain import App

  config = {
    'llm': {
      'provider': 'huggingface',
      'config': {
        'model': 'mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2',
        'top_p': 0.5
      }
    },
    'embedder': {
      'provider': 'huggingface',
      'config': {
        'model': 'sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2'
      }
    }
  }
  app = App.from_config(config=config)
  app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")
  app.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk")
  app.query("What is the net worth of Elon Musk today?")
  # Answer: The net worth of Elon Musk today is $258.7 billion.
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Paid Models

In this section, we will use both LLM and embedding model from OpenAI.

```python openai_demo.py theme={null}
import os
from embedchain import App

# Replace this with your OpenAI key
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxxx"

app = App()
app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")
app.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk")
app.query("What is the net worth of Elon Musk today?")
# Answer: The net worth of Elon Musk today is $258.7 billion.
```

# 🛠️ LangSmith
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/integration/langsmith

Integrate with Langsmith to debug and monitor your LLM app

Embedchain now supports integration with [LangSmith](https://www.langchain.com/langsmith).

To use LangSmith, you need to do the following steps.

1. Have an account on LangSmith and keep the environment variables in handy
2. Set the environment variables in your app so that embedchain has context about it.
3. Just use embedchain and everything will be logged to LangSmith, so that you can better test and monitor your application.

Let's cover each step in detail.

* First make sure that you have created a LangSmith account and have all the necessary variables handy. LangSmith has a [good documentation](https://docs.smith.langchain.com/) on how to get started with their service.

* Once you have setup the account, we will need the following environment variables

```bash theme={null}
# Setting environment variable for LangChain Tracing V2 integration.
export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true

# Setting the API endpoint for LangChain.
export LANGCHAIN_ENDPOINT=https://api.smith.langchain.com

# Replace '<your-api-key>' with your LangChain API key.
export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=<your-api-key>

# Replace '<your-project>' with your LangChain project name, or it defaults to "default".
export LANGCHAIN_PROJECT=<your-project>  # if not specified, defaults to "default"
```

If you are using Python, you can use the following code to set environment variables

```python theme={null}
import os

# Setting environment variable for LangChain Tracing V2 integration.
os.environ['LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2'] = 'true'

# Setting the API endpoint for LangChain.
os.environ['LANGCHAIN_ENDPOINT'] = 'https://api.smith.langchain.com'

# Replace '<your-api-key>' with your LangChain API key.
os.environ['LANGCHAIN_API_KEY'] = '<your-api-key>'

# Replace '<your-project>' with your LangChain project name.
os.environ['LANGCHAIN_PROJECT'] = '<your-project>'
```

* Now create an app using Embedchain and everything will be automatically visible in the LangSmith

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

# Initialize EmbedChain application.
app = App()

# Add data to your app
app.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk")

# Query your app
app.query("How many companies did Elon found?")
```

* Now the entire log for this will be visible in langsmith.

```bash theme={null}
# Setting environment variable for OpenTelemetry destination and authetication.
export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT = "YOUR_OTEL_ENDPOINT"
export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS = "YOUR_OTEL_ENDPOINT_AUTH"
```

### 2. Install the OpenLIT SDK

Open your terminal and run:

```shell theme={null}
pip install openlit
```

### 3. Setup Your Application for Monitoring

Now create an app using Embedchain and initialize OpenTelemetry monitoring

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App
import OpenLIT

# Initialize OpenLIT Auto Instrumentation for monitoring.
openlit.init()

# Initialize EmbedChain application.
app = App()

# Add data to your app
app.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk")

# Query your app
app.query("How many companies did Elon found?")
```

### 4. Visualize

Once you've set up data collection with OpenLIT, you can visualize and analyze this information to better understand your application's performance:

* **Using OpenLIT UI:** Connect to OpenLIT's UI to start exploring performance metrics. Visit the OpenLIT [Quickstart Guide](https://docs.openlit.io/latest/quickstart) for step-by-step details.

* **Integrate with existing Observability Tools:** If you use tools like Grafana or DataDog, you can integrate the data collected by OpenLIT. For instructions on setting up these connections, check the OpenLIT [Connections Guide](https://docs.openlit.io/latest/connections/intro).

## Example: Build a Q\&A System with Embedchain for Next.JS

Quickly create a RAG pipeline to answer queries about the [Next.JS Framework](https://nextjs.org/) using Embedchain tools.

### Step 1: Set Up Your RAG Pipeline

First, let's create your RAG pipeline. Open your Python environment and enter:

```python Create pipeline theme={null}
from embedchain import App
app = App()
```

This initializes your application.

### Step 2: Populate Your Pipeline with Data

Now, let's add data to your pipeline. We'll include the Next.JS website and its documentation:

```python Ingest data sources theme={null}
# Add Next.JS Website and docs
app.add("https://nextjs.org/sitemap.xml", data_type="sitemap")

# Add Next.JS Forum data
app.add("https://nextjs-forum.com/sitemap.xml", data_type="sitemap")
```

This step incorporates over **15K pages** from the Next.JS website and forum into your pipeline. For more data source options, check the [Embedchain data sources overview](/components/data-sources/overview).

### Step 3: Local Testing of Your Pipeline

Test the pipeline on your local machine:

```python Query App theme={null}
app.query("Summarize the features of Next.js 14?")
```

Run this query to see how your pipeline responds with information about Next.js 14.

### (Optional) Step 4: Deploying Your RAG Pipeline

Want to go live? Deploy your pipeline with these options:

* Deploy on the Embedchain Platform
* Self-host on your preferred cloud provider

For detailed deployment instructions, follow these guides:

* [Deploying on Embedchain Platform](/get-started/deployment#deploy-on-embedchain-platform)
* [Self-hosting Guide](/get-started/deployment#self-hosting)

# 🔍 Semantic Search
Source: https://docs.embedchain.ai/use-cases/semantic-search



Semantic searching, which involves understanding the intent and contextual meaning behind search queries, is yet another popular use-case of RAG. It has several popular use cases across various domains:

* **Information Retrieval**: Enhances search accuracy in databases and websites
* **E-commerce**: Improves product discovery in online shopping
* **Customer Support**: Powers smarter chatbots for effective responses
* **Content Discovery**: Aids in finding relevant media content
* **Knowledge Management**: Streamlines document and data retrieval in enterprises
* **Healthcare**: Facilitates medical research and literature search
* **Legal Research**: Assists in legal document and case law search
* **Academic Research**: Aids in academic paper discovery
* **Language Processing**: Enables multilingual search capabilities

Embedchain offers a simple yet customizable `search()` API that you can use for semantic search. See the example in the next section to know more.

## Example: Semantic Search over Next.JS Website + Forum

### Step 1: Set Up Your RAG Pipeline

First, let's create your RAG pipeline. Open your Python environment and enter:

```python Create pipeline theme={null}
from embedchain import App
app = App()
```

This initializes your application.

### Step 2: Populate Your Pipeline with Data

Now, let's add data to your pipeline. We'll include the Next.JS website and its documentation:

```python Ingest data sources theme={null}
# Add Next.JS Website and docs
app.add("https://nextjs.org/sitemap.xml", data_type="sitemap")

# Add Next.JS Forum data
app.add("https://nextjs-forum.com/sitemap.xml", data_type="sitemap")
```

This step incorporates over **15K pages** from the Next.JS website and forum into your pipeline. For more data source options, check the [Embedchain data sources overview](/components/data-sources/overview).

### Step 3: Local Testing of Your Pipeline

Test the pipeline on your local machine:
