The article discusses the author's experience using Pinecone's RAG service to create a basic web application with Flask. The application allows users to query PDF documents uploaded to an 'Assistant' created using Pinecone's Python SDK. It highlights the ease of integrating Pinecone to enable features like citation display and direct PDF access. The author shares a lighthearted approach to their Flask development journey, despite being a beginner, while demonstrating the application's capabilities through a simple CLI tool and an interactive web interface.
I used Pinecone’s Python SDK to create an 'Assistant', upload a directory of PDF files, and built a simple CLI tool for querying those documents.
Since Pinecone returns citations, we can let you load and view the PDF, and even go to the page in question, enhancing the user experience.
I wanted to build a web app that begins with a prompt that integrates server-side code with Pinecone and displays results on the web page.
I'm still very new to Flask, so take this with a grain of salt, and design isn't my strong point, but who cares, let's dig in!
