Want to build a generative AI application with PostgreSQL but unsure how to get started? In this talk, we will learn the essential tools for creating your own generative AI applications, including LangChain and pgvector. We will walk through some code so you can see firsthand what's required to connect these tools together. We'll do this by using a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) application. Throughout the talk we will go deep on how to use PostgreSQL with pgvector to accelerate vector similarity search including what LangChain misses for the best performance.
