+# simple-rag
+
+A minimal implementation of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in Python.
+
+## Features
+
+- Document retrieval using Chroma vector database (in-memory)
+- Uses OpenAI embeddings for document indexing
+- Integrates OpenAI models for answer generation
+- Simple and extensible codebase
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+git clone <repo>
+cd simple-rag
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+vi .env # add your openai api key
+
+python rag.py
+```
+
+## Example
+
+```bash
+python rag.py

+
+Answer:
+
+The text discusses key concepts in building AI agents, particularly focusing on memory systems and tracing for debugging. It highlights hierarchical memory, which combines recent interactions with long-term memories to formulate responses, showcasing how this works in a practical example. The text also touches on tracing, a method for monitoring functions in applications to visualize input and output, emphasizing the importance of standardization through OpenTelemetry. The author, Sam Bhagwat, emphasizes the relevance of these principles for developing effective AI applications, particularly in the context of the rapid advancements in large language models.
