Quick Start

1. Environment Variables

Create an Upstash Vector database and set up the environment variables as below. If you don't have an account, you can start by going to Upstash Console.

Choose an embedding model when creating an index in Upstash Vector.

UPSTASH_VECTOR_REST_URL=
UPSTASH_VECTOR_REST_TOKEN=

OPENAI_API_KEY=

TOGETHER_API_KEY=

# Optional
TOGETHER_MODEL=

2. Configure Styles

In your tailwind.config.ts file, add the configuration below:

import type { Config } from "tailwindcss";

export default {
  content: ["./node_modules/@upstash/rag-chat-widget/**/*.{js,mjs}"],
} satisfies Config;

3. Implementation

The RAG Chat Widget can be integrated into your application using two straightforward approaches. Choose the method that best fits your project structure:

1. Using a Dedicated Component File (Recommended)

Create a seperate component file with the use client directive, then import and use it anywhere in your application.

// components/widget.tsx
"use client";

import { ChatWidget } from "@upstash/rag-chat-widget";

export const Widget = () => {
  return <ChatWidget />;
};

// page.tsx
import { Widget } from "./components/widget";

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <>
      <Widget />
      <p>Home</p>
    </>
  );
}

2. Direct Integration in Client Components

Alternatively, import and use the ChatWidget directly in your client-side pages.

// page.tsx
"use client";
import { ChatWidget } from "@upstash/rag-chat-widget";

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <>
      <ChatWidget />
      <p>Home</p>
    </>
  );
}

4. Choosing Chat Model

It's possible to choose one of the together.ai models for the chat. Default model is meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Turbo. You can configure it in the environment variables.

TOGETHER_MODEL="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3"

Adding Content

You can add content to your RAG Chat widget in several ways:

1. Using RAG Chat SDK

The SDK provides methods to add various types of content programmatically:

import { RAGChat, openai } from "@upstash/rag-chat";

export const ragChat = new RAGChat({
  model: openai("gpt-4-turbo"),
});
// Add text content
await ragChat.context.add("Your text content here");

// Add PDF documents
await ragChat.context.add({
  type: "pdf",
  fileSource: "./path/to/document.pdf",
});

// Add web content
await ragChat.context.add({
  type: "html",
  source: "https://your-website.com",
});

For more detailed examples and options, check out the RAG Chat documentation.

2. Using Upstash Vector UI

You can also manage your content directly through the Upstash Vector Console:

1. Navigate to Upstash Console.
2. Go to details page of the Vector database.
3. Navigate to Databrowser Tab.
4. Here, you can either upload a PDF, or use on of our sample datasets.
