We've seen in previous chapters how powerful retrieval augmentation (vector databases) and conversational agents (chatbots) can be. They become even more impressive when we begin using them together.

Conversational agents can struggle with data freshness, knowledge about specific domains, or accessing internal documentation. By coupling agents with retrieval augmentation tools, we no longer have these problems.

On the other side, using "naive" retrieval augmentation without the use of an agent means we will retrieve contexts with every query. Again, this isn't always ideal as not every query requires access to external knowledge.

Merging these methods gives us the best of both worlds. In this video, we'll learn how to do using the Pinecone vector database and OpenAI embedding and gpt-3.5-turbo completion models.
