Building a RAG Architecture: Local Files and Web Data Extraction - Pinecone, Mongo and ChatGPT

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architecture! In this video, we'll take you step-by-step through the entire process, from extracting data from your local computer, file servers, and company websites to embedding this information into a Pinecone vector database and storing original contents in MongoDB. We'll also build an application that leverages this architecture for powerful AI capabilities.
Key Highlights:
- Data Extraction Nodes: Learn how our TEXTEN and WEBTEXTEN nodes extract data from various sources. The TEXTEN node can be configured to run manually or on a schedule, ensuring you capture all relevant data without including excluded files or directories. The WEBTEXTEN node crawls your specified domain, pulling in text and PDF files while ignoring external links.
- Handling PII and Exclusions: Understand the importance of managing Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Our system checks for PII patterns and allows you to approve or reject flagged content, ensuring your data remains secure and compliant.
- Edge Server Processing: Discover how our edge server processes and stores data without bogging down your local system. The server handles the heavy lifting, ensuring efficient data processing and storage.
- Data Cleanup and Storage: See how we clean up data by removing stop words and unnecessary numbers before storing it in Pinecone and MongoDB. This step is crucial for optimizing the vector database and ensuring accurate and efficient data retrieval.
- Building the Application: Watch as we build an application that utilizes the RAG architecture to provide insightful responses using OpenAI's ChatGPT. We'll walk through the code, showing you how to integrate embeddings and query the vector database to get the most relevant information.

Hi Mike, amazing stuff covering very important aspects of an end-to-end RAG application. It was a great experience going through each git project and executing them with pinecone, MongoDB, and OpenAI. With minor changes, they all worked fine. Thanks for the video and codebase. Subscribed!
