"File Stores (referred to as "File Search") expands on Gemini's previous ability to work on files in a temporary fashion by allowing you to create a permanent "store" of folders. You can use this for RAG systems and use flexible metadata filter for complex queries. This feature has been out for a few months now and I've wanted to play with it more, but found myself facing an issue - I'm lazy."
"My application is a simple Python Flask web app meant to be run locally with your Gemini API key defined in an environment variable. On starting up, you're presented with a list of your stores: Clicking on View gives you a detailed listing of files, along with a chance to delete or upload new files: The search interface lets you pick a store, enter a query,"
Gemini File Stores create persistent folder-based stores that extend temporary file handling and enable RAG workflows with flexible metadata filtering for complex queries. Setup requires creating a store and populating it before generative searches can run. A local Python Flask web application can automate and simplify store management when provided a Gemini API key via an environment variable. The application lists existing stores, shows detailed file listings with upload and delete options, and provides a search interface supporting optional metadata filters. The approach suits prototypes and demos, such as searching categorized product diagrams before asking questions.
