# 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).

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”.
