The self-managed Hyper-Converged Database (HCD) is available as a vector store component within Langflow, designed to accelerate the development of generative AI (gen AI) applications.
Langflow provides a powerful visual framework that enables developers to build gen AI applications using any vector database, embedding model, or LLM supported by Langflow.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
-
A gen AI application that you want to build or enhance with Langflow.
-
A basic understanding of Langflow and gen AI applications.
