Accelerating GenAI Development: Harnessing Astra DB Vector Store and Langflow for LLM-Powered Apps
#1about 5 minutes
Addressing the core challenges of large language models
LLMs face issues with hallucinations, data security, and cost control when they lack relevant, private context.
#2about 2 minutes
Solving LLM limitations with RAG and vector databases
The Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pattern uses a vector database to perform semantic searches and inject relevant, real-time context into LLM prompts.
#3about 3 minutes
Comparing generic LLM responses with RAG-powered results
A demo of a bicycle recommendation service shows how RAG provides relevant, contextual product suggestions from a private catalog versus generic, unhelpful ones.
#4about 3 minutes
Leveraging Astra DB for high-relevance vector search
Astra DB, built on Apache Cassandra, provides a scalable, enterprise-ready vector database with the high-performance JVector search algorithm.
#5about 2 minutes
Introducing RAGStack as an opinionated development framework
RAGStack is a curated framework that simplifies GenAI development by integrating key tools like LangChain and LlamaIndex for use in enterprise settings.
#6about 3 minutes
How to easily vectorize data in the Astra DB UI
A demonstration shows how to upload a JSON dataset to an Astra DB collection and enable automatic vectorization for semantic search with just a few clicks.
#7about 4 minutes
Building enterprise-ready RAG applications with RAGStack
RAGStack ensures enterprise readiness by providing dependency-tested and vulnerability-scanned packages, demonstrated through a code example of a RAG application.
#8about 6 minutes
Building RAG pipelines visually with the Langflow platform
A demonstration of Langflow shows how to build, configure, and execute a complete RAG pipeline using a drag-and-drop interface without writing complex code.
#9about 1 minute
Final takeaways and how to get started
The key to successful GenAI is leveraging your own data, and you can get started by trying Astra DB for free.
