Support JSON input

Our Start operator now supports JSON inputs. Leveraging JSON as an input format enables the handling of semi-structured data, providing a well-organized representation of information. This is especially valuable when working with a REST API connector as a payload or when utilizing the Pinecone connector to insert records that include metadata in the form of key-value pairs.

Use Redis as a chat history store

We've introduced a Redis connector to facilitate chat history functionality. Redis, a widely used in-memory data store, enables the efficient implementation of a chat history system. Messages from a given chat session, identified by a unique Session ID, can be stored consistently, complete with their associated roles like "system," "user," and "assistant." Moreover, you have the flexibility to configure the retrieval of the latest K messages and integrate them seamlessly with a Large Language Model (LLM), such as OpenAI's GPT models, allowing you to develop a chatbot with full control over your data.

Improve RAG capabilities

We now support metadata in the Pinecone connector to enhance the efficiency and precision of your vector searches. With the ability to associate metadata key-value pairs with your vectors, you can now access not only the most similar records after your data has been indexed but also retrieve the associated metadata. Additionally, you can define filter expressions during queries, enabling you to refine your vector searches based on metadata. This functionality proves invaluable when dealing with extensive datasets where precision and efficiency in retrieval are paramount.
