- # Chroma Q&A with Sources Element
7
-
8
- This repository contains a Chainlit application that provides a question-answering service using documents stored in a Chroma vector store. It allows users to upload PDF documents, which are then chunked, embedded, and indexed for efficient retrieval. When a user asks a question, the application retrieves relevant document chunks and uses OpenAI's language model to generate an answer, citing the sources it used.

- ## High-Level Description
11
-
12
- The `app.py` script performs the following functions:
13
-
14
- 1. **PDF Processing (`process_pdfs`)**: Chunks PDF files into smaller text segments, creates embeddings for each chunk, and stores them in Chroma.
15
- 2. **Document Indexing (`index`)**: Uses `SQLRecordManager` to track document writes into the vector store.
16
- 3. **Question Answering (`on_message`)**: When a user asks a question, the application retrieves relevant document chunks and generates an answer using OpenAI's language model, providing the sources for transparency.
