End-to-End RAG with Weaviate

Discover how Weaviate enables RAG applications! You'll build a RAG workflow end-to-end by-hand to get familiar with the Retrieval-Augmentation-Generation steps. This understanding will enable robust and optimized RAG workflows in Chapter 2 using Weaviate.

Although coding out RAG workflows by-hand is fun, you may be missing out on optimizations provided by tools like Weaviate. In this chapter, you'll embed, store, retrieve, and generate responses all using Weaviate!

In the last chapter, you used the text content from the PDF documents to build your document chunks, but left the image content behind. This results in a lot of lost context that might be useful for retrieval and generation! In this chapter, you'll use ColPali multi-modal models to embed and generate text and images to provide more context for your model responses.
