Getting Started

New to Redis for AI applications? Here's how to get started:

1. First time with Redis? Start with our Redis Intro notebook
2. Want to try vector search? Check our Vector Search with RedisVL recipe
3. Building a RAG application? Begin with RAG from Scratch
4. Ready to see it in action? Play with the Redis RAG Workbench demo

Getting started with Redis & Vector Search

Recipe	GitHub	Google Colab
🏁 Redis Intro - The place to start if brand new to Redis
🔍 Vector Search with RedisPy - Vector search with Redis python client
📚 Vector Search with RedisVL - Vector search with Redis Vector Library
🔄 Hybrid Search - Hybrid search techniques with Redis (BM25 + Vector)
🔢 Data Type Support - Shows how to convert a float32 index to float16 or integer dataypes

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)

Retrieval Augmented Generation (aka RAG) is a technique to enhance the ability of an LLM to respond to user queries. The retrieval part of RAG is supported by a vector database, which can return semantically relevant results to a user's query, serving as contextual information to augment the generative capabilities of an LLM.

To get started with RAG, either from scratch or using a popular framework like Llamaindex or LangChain, go with these recipes:

Recipe	GitHub	Google Colab
🧩 RAG from Scratch - RAG from scratch with the Redis Vector Library
⛓️ LangChain RAG - RAG using Redis and LangChain
🦙 LlamaIndex RAG - RAG using Redis and LlamaIndex
🚀 Advanced RAG - Advanced RAG techniques
🖥️ NVIDIA RAG - RAG using Redis and Nvidia NIMs
📊 RAGAS Evaluation - Utilize the RAGAS framework to evaluate RAG performance
🔒 Role-Based RAG - Implement a simple RBAC policy with vector search using Redis

LLM Memory

LLMs are stateless. To maintain context within a conversation chat sessions must be stored and re-sent to the LLM. Redis manages the storage and retrieval of message histories to maintain context and conversational relevance.

Recipe	GitHub	Google Colab
💬 Message History - LLM message history with semantic similarity
👥 Multiple Sessions - Handle multiple simultaneous chats with one instance

Semantic Caching

An estimated 31% of LLM queries are potentially redundant (source). Redis enables semantic caching to help cut down on LLM costs quickly.

Recipe	GitHub	Google Colab
🧠 Gemini Semantic Cache - Build a semantic cache with Redis and Google Gemini
🦙 Llama3.1 Doc2Cache - Build a semantic cache using the Doc2Cache framework and Llama3.1
⚙️ Cache Optimization - Use CacheThresholdOptimizer from redisvl to setup best cache config

Semantic Routing

Routing is a simple and effective way of preventing misuse with your AI application or for creating branching logic between data sources etc.

Recipe	GitHub	Google Colab
🔀 Basic Routing - Simple examples of how to build an allow/block list router in addition to a multi-topic router
⚙️ Router Optimization - Use RouterThresholdOptimizer from redisvl to setup best router config

AI Gateways

AI gateways manage LLM traffic through a centralized, managed layer that can implement routing, rate limiting, caching, and more.

Recipe	GitHub	Google Colab
🚪 LiteLLM Proxy - Getting started with LiteLLM proxy and Redis

Agents

Recipe	GitHub	Google Colab
🕸️ LangGraph Agents - Notebook to get started with lang-graph and agents
👥 CrewAI Agents - Notebook to get started with CrewAI and lang-graph
🧠 Memory Agent - Building an agent with short term and long term memory using Redis
🛠️ Full-Featured Agent - Notebook builds full tool calling agent with semantic cache and router

Computer Vision
