AgentDB Semantic Vector Search

Overview

Implement semantic vector search with AgentDB for intelligent document retrieval, similarity matching, and context-aware querying. Build RAG systems, semantic search engines, and knowledge bases.

SOP Framework: 5-Phase Semantic Search

Phase 1: Setup Vector Database (1-2 hours)

• Initialize AgentDB
• Configure embedding model
• Setup database schema

Phase 2: Embed Documents (1-2 hours)

• Process document corpus
• Generate embeddings
• Store vectors with metadata

Phase 3: Build Search Index (1-2 hours)

• Create HNSW index
• Optimize search parameters
• Test retrieval accuracy

Phase 4: Implement Query Interface (1-2 hours)

• Create REST API endpoints
• Add filtering and ranking
• Implement hybrid search

Phase 5: Refine and Optimize (1-2 hours)

• Improve relevance
• Add re-ranking
• Performance tuning

Quick Start

Copyimport { AgentDB, EmbeddingModel } from 'agentdb-vector-search';

// Initialize
const db = new AgentDB({ name: 'semantic-search', dimensions: 1536 });
const embedder = new EmbeddingModel('openai/ada-002');

// Embed documents
for (const doc of documents) {
  const embedding = await embedder.embed(doc.text);
  await db.insert({
    id: doc.id,
    vector: embedding,
    metadata: { title: doc.title, content: doc.text }
  });
}

// Search
const query = 'machine learning tutorials';
const queryEmbedding = await embedder.embed(query);
const results = await db.search({
  vector: queryEmbedding,
  topK: 10,
  filter: { category: 'tech' }
});

Features

• Semantic Search: Meaning-based retrieval
• Hybrid Search: Vector + keyword search
• Filtering: Metadata-based filtering
• Re-ranking: Improve result relevance
• RAG Integration: Context for LLMs

Success Metrics

• Retrieval accuracy > 90%
• Query latency < 100ms
• Relevant results in top-10: > 95%
• API uptime > 99.9%
