Page: 1

Context: 1. Initialize a LangChain object for chatting with OpenAI’s `gpt-4o-mini` LLM. OpenAI is a paid service, so running the remainder of this tutorial may incur some small cost.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI  
from langchain.chains import create_retrieval_chain  
from langchain.chains.combine_documents import create_stuff_documents_chain

)  
retrieval_chain = create_retrieval_chain(retriever, combine_docs_chain)

2. Define a few questions about the WonderVector5000\. These questions require specific, private knowledge of the product, which the LLM does not have by default.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
query1 = "What are the first 3 steps for getting started with the WonderVector5000?"  
query2 = "The Neural Fandango Synchronizer is giving me a headache. What do I do?"  
```
3. Send `query1` to the LLM _without_ relevant context from Pinecone:  
Python  
Copy  
```  
answer1_without_knowledge = llm.invoke(query1)  
print("Query 1:", query1)  
print("\nAnswer without knowledge:\n\n", answer1_without_knowledge.content)

Page: 1

Context: 1. Initialize a LangChain object for chatting with OpenAI’s `gpt-4o-mini` LLM. OpenAI is a paid service, so running the remainder of this tutorial may incur some small cost.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI  
from langchain.chains import create_retrieval_chain  
from langchain.chains.combine_documents import create_stuff_documents_chain  
from langchain import hub  
retrieval_qa_chat_prompt = hub.pull("langchain-ai/retrieval-qa-chat")  
retriever=docsearch.as_retriever()  
llm = ChatOpenAI(  
    openai_api_key=os.environ.get('OPENAI_API_KEY'),  
    model_name='gpt-4o-mini',  
    temperature=0.0  
)  
combine_docs_chain = create_stuff_documents_chain(  
    llm, retrieval_qa_chat_prompt  
)  
retrieval_chain = create_retrieval_chain(retriever, combine_docs_chain)  
```
2. Define a few questions about the WonderVector5000\. These questions require specific, private knowledge of the product, which the LLM does not have by default.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
query1 = "What are the first 3 steps for getting started with the WonderVector5000?"  
query2 = "The Neural Fandango Synchronizer is giving me a headache. What do I do?"  
```
3. Send `query1` to the LLM _without_ relevant context from Pinecone:  
Python  
Copy  
```  
answer1_without_knowledge = llm.invoke(query1)  
print("Query 1:", query1)  
print("\nAnswer without knowledge:\n\n", answer1_without_knowledge.content)  
print("\n")  
time.sleep(2)  
```  
Notice that this first response sounds convincing but is entirely fabricated. This is an hallucination.

Context: 1. Initialize a LangChain object for chatting with OpenAI’s `gpt-4o-mini` LLM. OpenAI is a paid service, so running the remainder of this tutorial may incur some small cost.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI  
from langchain.chains import create_retrieval_chain  
from langchain.chains.combine_documents import create_stuff_documents_chain  
from langchain import hub  
retrieval_qa_chat_prompt = hub.pull("langchain-ai/retrieval-qa-chat")  
retriever=docsearch.as_retriever()  
llm = ChatOpenAI(  
    openai_api_key=os.environ.get('OPENAI_API_KEY'),  
    model_name='gpt-4o-mini',  
    temperature=0.0  
)  
combine_docs_chain = create_stuff_documents_chain(  
    llm, retrieval_qa_chat_prompt  
)  
retrieval_chain = create_retrieval_chain(retriever, combine_docs_chain)  
```
2. Define a few questions about the WonderVector5000\. These questions require specific, private knowledge of the product, which the LLM does not have by default.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
query1 = "What are the first 3 steps for getting started with the WonderVector5000?"  
query2 = "The Neural Fandango Synchronizer is giving me a headache. What do I do?"  
```
3. Send `query1` to the LLM _without_ relevant context from Pinecone:  
Python  
Copy  
```  
answer1_without_knowledge = llm.invoke(query1)  
print("Query 1:", query1)  
print("\nAnswer without knowledge:\n\n", answer1_without_knowledge.content)  
print("\n")  
time.sleep(2)  
```

Context: 1. Initialize a LangChain object for chatting with OpenAI’s `gpt-4o-mini` LLM. OpenAI is a paid service, so running the remainder of this tutorial may incur some small cost.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI  
from langchain.chains import create_retrieval_chain  
from langchain.chains.combine_documents import create_stuff_documents_chain  
from langchain import hub  
retrieval_qa_chat_prompt = hub.pull("langchain-ai/retrieval-qa-chat")  
retriever=docsearch.as_retriever()  
llm = ChatOpenAI(  
    openai_api_key=os.environ.get('OPENAI_API_KEY'),  
    model_name='gpt-4o-mini',  
    temperature=0.0  
)

    llm, retrieval_qa_chat_prompt  
)  
retrieval_chain = create_retrieval_chain(retriever, combine_docs_chain)  
```
2. Define a few questions about the WonderVector5000\. These questions require specific, private knowledge of the product, which the LLM does not have by default.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
query1 = "What are the first 3 steps for getting started with the WonderVector5000?"  
query2 = "The Neural Fandango Synchronizer is giving me a headache. What do I do?"  
```
3. Send `query1` to the LLM _without_ relevant context from Pinecone:  
Python  
Copy  
```  
answer1_without_knowledge = llm.invoke(query1)  
print("Query 1:", query1)  
print("\nAnswer without knowledge:\n\n", answer1_without_knowledge.content)  
print("\n")

Context: 1. Initialize a LangChain object for chatting with OpenAI’s `gpt-4o-mini` LLM. OpenAI is a paid service, so running the remainder of this tutorial may incur some small cost.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI  
from langchain.chains import create_retrieval_chain  
from langchain.chains.combine_documents import create_stuff_documents_chain  
from langchain import hub  
retrieval_qa_chat_prompt = hub.pull("langchain-ai/retrieval-qa-chat")  
retriever=docsearch.as_retriever()  
llm = ChatOpenAI(  
    openai_api_key=os.environ.get('OPENAI_API_KEY'),  
    model_name='gpt-4o-mini',  
    temperature=0.0  
)  
combine_docs_chain = create_stuff_documents_chain(  
    llm, retrieval_qa_chat_prompt  
)  
retrieval_chain = create_retrieval_chain(retriever, combine_docs_chain)  
```
2. Define a few questions about the WonderVector5000\. These questions require specific, private knowledge of the product, which the LLM does not have by default.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
query1 = "What are the first 3 steps for getting started with the WonderVector5000?"  
query2 = "The Neural Fandango Synchronizer is giving me a headache. What do I do?"  
```
3. Send `query1` to the LLM _without_ relevant context from Pinecone:  
Python  
Copy  
```  
answer1_without_knowledge = llm.invoke(query1)  
print("Query 1:", query1)  
print("\nAnswer without knowledge:\n\n", answer1_without_knowledge.content)  
print("\n")

Query 1: What are the first 3 steps for getting started with the WonderVector5000?  
Answer without knowledge:  
To get started with the WonderVector5000, follow these initial steps:
####################
File: docs-pinecone-io-guides-get-started-build-a-rag-chatbot-before-you-begin-44108.txt

Page: 1

Context: 1. Initialize a LangChain object for chatting with OpenAI’s `gpt-4o-mini` LLM. OpenAI is a paid service, so running the remainder of this tutorial may incur some small cost.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI  
from langchain.chains import create_retrieval_chain  
from langchain.chains.combine_documents import create_stuff_documents_chain  
from langchain import hub  
retrieval_qa_chat_prompt = hub.pull("langchain-ai/retrieval-qa-chat")  
retriever=docsearch.as_retriever()  
llm = ChatOpenAI(  
    openai_api_key=os.environ.get('OPENAI_API_KEY'),  
    model_name='gpt-4o-mini',  
    temperature=0.0  
)  
combine_docs_chain = create_stuff_documents_chain(  
    llm, retrieval_qa_chat_prompt  
)  
retrieval_chain = create_retrieval_chain(retriever, combine_docs_chain)  
```
2. Define a few questions about the WonderVector5000\. These questions require specific, private knowledge of the product, which the LLM does not have by default.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
query1 = "What are the first 3 steps for getting started with the WonderVector5000?"  
query2 = "The Neural Fandango Synchronizer is giving me a headache. What do I do?"  
```
3. Send `query1` to the LLM _without_ relevant context from Pinecone:  
Python  
Copy  
```  
answer1_without_knowledge = llm.invoke(query1)  
print("Query 1:", query1)  
print("\nAnswer without knowledge:\n\n", answer1_without_knowledge.content)  
print("\n")

# Build a RAG chatbot

This tutorial shows you how to build a simple RAG chatbot in Python using Pinecone for the vector database and embedding model, [OpenAI](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/openai) for the LLM, and [LangChain](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/langchain) for the RAG workflow.

To run through this tutorial in your browser, use [this colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/pinecone-io/examples/blob/master/docs/rag-getting-started.ipynb). For a more complex, multitenant RAG sample app and tutorial, see [Namespace Notes](/examples/sample-apps/namespace-notes).

How it works

GenAI chatbots built on Large Language Models (LLMs) can answer many questions. However, when the questions concern private data that the LLMs have not been trained on, you can get answers that sound convincing but are factually wrong. This behavior is referred to as “hallucination”.

# Build a RAG chatbot

This tutorial shows you how to build a simple RAG chatbot in Python using Pinecone for the vector database and embedding model, [OpenAI](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/openai) for the LLM, and [LangChain](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/langchain) for the RAG workflow.

To run through this tutorial in your browser, use [this colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/pinecone-io/examples/blob/master/docs/rag-getting-started.ipynb). For a more complex, multitenant RAG sample app and tutorial, see [Namespace Notes](/examples/sample-apps/namespace-notes).

How it works

GenAI chatbots built on Large Language Models (LLMs) can answer many questions. However, when the questions concern private data that the LLMs have not been trained on, you can get answers that sound convincing but are factually wrong. This behavior is referred to as “hallucination”.

# Build a RAG chatbot

This tutorial shows you how to build a simple RAG chatbot in Python using Pinecone for the vector database and embedding model, [OpenAI](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/openai) for the LLM, and [LangChain](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/langchain) for the RAG workflow.

To run through this tutorial in your browser, use [this colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/pinecone-io/examples/blob/master/docs/rag-getting-started.ipynb). For a more complex, multitenant RAG sample app and tutorial, see [Namespace Notes](/examples/sample-apps/namespace-notes).

How it works

GenAI chatbots built on Large Language Models (LLMs) can answer many questions. However, when the questions concern private data that the LLMs have not been trained on, you can get answers that sound convincing but are factually wrong. This behavior is referred to as “hallucination”.

# Build a RAG chatbot

This tutorial shows you how to build a simple RAG chatbot in Python using Pinecone for the vector database and embedding model, [OpenAI](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/openai) for the LLM, and [LangChain](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/langchain) for the RAG workflow.

To run through this tutorial in your browser, use [this colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/pinecone-io/examples/blob/master/docs/rag-getting-started.ipynb). For a more complex, multitenant RAG sample app and tutorial, see [Namespace Notes](/examples/sample-apps/namespace-notes).

How it works

GenAI chatbots built on Large Language Models (LLMs) can answer many questions. However, when the questions concern private data that the LLMs have not been trained on, you can get answers that sound convincing but are factually wrong. This behavior is referred to as “hallucination”.

Context: 1. Initialize a LangChain object for chatting with OpenAI’s `gpt-4o-mini` LLM. OpenAI is a paid service, so running the remainder of this tutorial may incur some small cost.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI  
from langchain.chains import create_retrieval_chain  
from langchain.chains.combine_documents import create_stuff_documents_chain  
from langchain import hub  
retrieval_qa_chat_prompt = hub.pull("langchain-ai/retrieval-qa-chat")  
retriever=docsearch.as_retriever()  
llm = ChatOpenAI(  
    openai_api_key=os.environ.get('OPENAI_API_KEY'),  
    model_name='gpt-4o-mini',  
    temperature=0.0  
)  
combine_docs_chain = create_stuff_documents_chain(  
    llm, retrieval_qa_chat_prompt  
)  
retrieval_chain = create_retrieval_chain(retriever, combine_docs_chain)  
```
2. Define a few questions about the WonderVector5000\. These questions require specific, private knowledge of the product, which the LLM does not have by default.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
query1 = "What are the first 3 steps for getting started with the WonderVector5000?"  
query2 = "The Neural Fandango Synchronizer is giving me a headache. What do I do?"  
```
3. Send `query1` to the LLM _without_ relevant context from Pinecone:  
Python  
Copy  
```  
answer1_without_knowledge = llm.invoke(query1)  
print("Query 1:", query1)  
print("\nAnswer without knowledge:\n\n", answer1_without_knowledge.content)

This tutorial shows you how to build a simple RAG chatbot in Python using Pinecone for the vector database and embedding model, [OpenAI](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/openai) for the LLM, and [LangChain](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/langchain) for the RAG workflow.

To run through this tutorial in your browser, use [this colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/pinecone-io/examples/blob/master/docs/rag-getting-started.ipynb). For a more complex, multitenant RAG sample app and tutorial, see [Namespace Notes](/examples/sample-apps/namespace-notes).

How it works

GenAI chatbots built on Large Language Models (LLMs) can answer many questions. However, when the questions concern private data that the LLMs have not been trained on, you can get answers that sound convincing but are factually wrong. This behavior is referred to as “hallucination”.

Context: 1. Initialize a LangChain object for chatting with OpenAI’s `gpt-4o-mini` LLM. OpenAI is a paid service, so running the remainder of this tutorial may incur some small cost.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI  
from langchain.chains import create_retrieval_chain  
from langchain.chains.combine_documents import create_stuff_documents_chain  
from langchain import hub  
retrieval_qa_chat_prompt = hub.pull("langchain-ai/retrieval-qa-chat")  
retriever=docsearch.as_retriever()  
llm = ChatOpenAI(  
    openai_api_key=os.environ.get('OPENAI_API_KEY'),  
    model_name='gpt-4o-mini',  
    temperature=0.0  
)  
combine_docs_chain = create_stuff_documents_chain(  
    llm, retrieval_qa_chat_prompt  
)  
retrieval_chain = create_retrieval_chain(retriever, combine_docs_chain)  
```
2. Define a few questions about the WonderVector5000\. These questions require specific, private knowledge of the product, which the LLM does not have by default.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
query1 = "What are the first 3 steps for getting started with the WonderVector5000?"  
query2 = "The Neural Fandango Synchronizer is giving me a headache. What do I do?"  
```
3. Send `query1` to the LLM _without_ relevant context from Pinecone:  
Python  
Copy  
```  
answer1_without_knowledge = llm.invoke(query1)  
print("Query 1:", query1)  
print("\nAnswer without knowledge:\n\n", answer1_without_knowledge.content)  
print("\n")  
time.sleep(2)  
```  
Notice that this first response sounds convincing but is entirely fabricated. This is an hallucination.

# Build a RAG chatbot

This tutorial shows you how to build a simple RAG chatbot in Python using Pinecone for the vector database and embedding model, [OpenAI](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/openai) for the LLM, and [LangChain](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/langchain) for the RAG workflow.

To run through this tutorial in your browser, use [this colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/pinecone-io/examples/blob/master/docs/rag-getting-started.ipynb). For a more complex, multitenant RAG sample app and tutorial, see [Namespace Notes](/examples/sample-apps/namespace-notes).

How it works

GenAI chatbots built on Large Language Models (LLMs) can answer many questions. However, when the questions concern private data that the LLMs have not been trained on, you can get answers that sound convincing but are factually wrong. This behavior is referred to as “hallucination”.

GenAI chatbots built on Large Language Models (LLMs) can answer many questions. However, when the questions concern private data that the LLMs have not been trained on, you can get answers that sound convincing but are factually wrong. This behavior is referred to as “hallucination”.

# Build a RAG chatbot

This tutorial shows you how to build a simple RAG chatbot in Python using Pinecone for the vector database and embedding model, [OpenAI](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/openai) for the LLM, and [LangChain](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/langchain) for the RAG workflow.

To run through this tutorial in your browser, use [this colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/pinecone-io/examples/blob/master/docs/rag-getting-started.ipynb). For a more complex, multitenant RAG sample app and tutorial, see [Namespace Notes](/examples/sample-apps/namespace-notes).

How it works

GenAI chatbots built on Large Language Models (LLMs) can answer many questions. However, when the questions concern private data that the LLMs have not been trained on, you can get answers that sound convincing but are factually wrong. This behavior is referred to as “hallucination”.

Context: 1. Initialize a LangChain object for chatting with OpenAI’s `gpt-4o-mini` LLM. OpenAI is a paid service, so running the remainder of this tutorial may incur some small cost.

2. Define a few questions about the WonderVector5000\. These questions require specific, private knowledge of the product, which the LLM does not have by default.

query1 = "What are the first 3 steps for getting started with the WonderVector5000?"  
query2 = "The Neural Fandango Synchronizer is giving me a headache. What do I do?"

# Build a RAG chatbot

This tutorial shows you how to build a simple RAG chatbot in Python using Pinecone for the vector database and embedding model, [OpenAI](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/openai) for the LLM, and [LangChain](https://docs.pinecone.io/integrations/langchain) for the RAG workflow.

To run through this tutorial in your browser, use [this colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/pinecone-io/examples/blob/master/docs/rag-getting-started.ipynb). For a more complex, multitenant RAG sample app and tutorial, see [Namespace Notes](/examples/sample-apps/namespace-notes).

How it works

GenAI chatbots built on Large Language Models (LLMs) can answer many questions. However, when the questions concern private data that the LLMs have not been trained on, you can get answers that sound convincing but are factually wrong. This behavior is referred to as “hallucination”.

Context: 1. Initialize a LangChain object for chatting with OpenAI’s `gpt-4o-mini` LLM. OpenAI is a paid service, so running the remainder of this tutorial may incur some small cost.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI  
from langchain.chains import create_retrieval_chain  
from langchain.chains.combine_documents import create_stuff_documents_chain  
from langchain import hub  
retrieval_qa_chat_prompt = hub.pull("langchain-ai/retrieval-qa-chat")  
retriever=docsearch.as_retriever()  
llm = ChatOpenAI(  
    openai_api_key=os.environ.get('OPENAI_API_KEY'),  
    model_name='gpt-4o-mini',  
    temperature=0.0  
)  
combine_docs_chain = create_stuff_documents_chain(  
    llm, retrieval_qa_chat_prompt  
)  
retrieval_chain = create_retrieval_chain(retriever, combine_docs_chain)  
```
2. Define a few questions about the WonderVector5000\. These questions require specific, private knowledge of the product, which the LLM does not have by default.  
Python  
Copy  
```  
query1 = "What are the first 3 steps for getting started with the WonderVector5000?"  
query2 = "The Neural Fandango Synchronizer is giving me a headache. What do I do?"  
```
3. Send `query1` to the LLM _without_ relevant context from Pinecone:  
Python  
Copy  
```  
answer1_without_knowledge = llm.invoke(query1)  
print("Query 1:", query1)  
print("\nAnswer without knowledge:\n\n", answer1_without_knowledge.content)  
print("\n")  
time.sleep(2)  
```  
Notice that this first response sounds convincing but is entirely fabricated. This is an hallucination.
