01INTRODUCTION

Let's Get Started

A complete walkthrough of building a RAG Model that chats with YouTube videos. Learn how to extract transcripts, create embeddings, and query them with AI.


🎯 What are we doing here?

We are building a tool that helps you chat with any Youtube video. We will be learning on how do you approach this project from a step by step approach.

Fetch Transcript

Extract text from YouTube videos using APIs or scrapers.

Embeddings

Convert text chunks into vector representations using LLMs.

Vector DB

Store and retrieve high-dimensional vectors efficiently.

Similarity Search

Find the most relevant context for user queries.

🛠️ The Approach

Important Note

Before starting any project, it is suggested to start with creating the approach of the project first, creating a complete workflow on your approach.

🧠 What is a Vector Database?

Vector Database

Imagine your brain is trying to remember which movie your friend described:
"It's a sci-fi movie, has robots, and was super emotional."

Instead of just matching words like "robot", your brain tries to understand the meaning. That’s what a vector database does — it finds similar things by understanding meaning, not just exact words.

Example: Embeddings

"I love ice cream" might look like:

[0.23, -0.88, 1.2, 0.05, 0.77, ...]

Important Note

Vector databases are databases that store and retrieve high-dimensional vectors efficiently.
