🎁 Database

Instead of managing your data, a vector database, an embedding model, a search algorithm, a PostgreSQL database, and your LLM all in different places…

What if you could do it in one spot, with your teammates?

Create Columns

A Baseplate database is as flexible as a spreadsheet. You can create any number of columns, and edit them directly from the UI.

1. Embedding Columns
   The content in these columns will be embedded using the embedding model you select
2. Data Columns
   Typically images, urls, code snippets, or links that you’d like to be returned with your search result
3. Metadata Columns
   Really useful for large datasets to make sure you’re getting relevant vectors. Segment your data based on customer, datasource, version, date, or whatever your prefer!
4. Image Columns
   Drag and Drop or import images for use as image references.

​

Adding Documents

1. Add a whole document
   You can use Baseplate’s built in parsing capabilities to break documents into chunks for embedding. Specify a chunk size and which column to add the chunks to, and we’ll do the rest
2. Add context chunk-by-chunk
   For more nuanced indices, upload rows to Baseplate via API once you’ve chunked them

​

Updating Vectors

Edit your vectors from the interface or through the API. We’ll automatically handle the embedding, updating of your text representation, and upsert of the new vector.

​

Manage Documents

You can view, edit, replace, and delete your documents at once, instead of going row-by-row. See our API for a guide on replacing old data.

​

Auto Embedding

Enable auto embedding on an image column to automatically generate a caption for the uploaded image. This is useful for when you want to search for images based on their content. The caption is added to the row’s text embedding.
