Ai Getting Started
This project is an artificial intelligence application starter kit and cloud deployment framework. It provides a pre-configured foundation for building AI applications, featuring integrated authentication, orchestration, and vector database connectivity.
The framework serves as an implementation template for retrieval augmented generation systems. It includes a pipeline to convert markdown documents into vector embeddings and store them in a database to enable question-and-answer functionality.
The system covers the coordination of communication between user interfaces and backend AI services through a centralized orchestration layer. It further includes configurations for cloud hosting, incorporating secret management and instance scaling to maintain availability.
