Using the Embeddings and Completions endpoints to create a powerful question-answering application

The Embeddings and Completions endpoints are a great combination to use when building a question-answering or chatbot application.

Here's how you can get started:

  1. Gather all of the information you need for your knowledge base. Use our Embeddings endpoint to make document embeddings for each section.

  2. When a user asks a question, turn it into a query embedding and use it to find the most relevant sections from your knowledge base.

  3. Use the relevant context from your knowledge base to create a prompt for the Completions endpoint, which can generate an answer for your user.

We encourage you to take a look at our detailed notebook that provides step-by-step instructions.
