Best Practices from Real Use

Document Preparation Tips

  1. Use descriptive filenames: 2024-Q1-sales-report.pdf vs report.pdf
  2. Organize by hierarchy: Use folders to group related documents
  3. Include context: Add summary documents explaining the collection
  4. Keep documents current: Remove outdated versions regularly

Query Strategy Tips

  1. Start broad, then narrow: Begin with overview questions, then dig deeper
  2. Use domain-specific terms: Mirror the language used in your documents
  3. Leverage source showing: Use --show-sources to verify information
  4. Adjust context as needed: More chunks for complex analysis, fewer for quick facts

Workflow Optimization

  1. Batch similar queries: Process related questions together
  2. Use configuration files: Set up project-specific environments
  3. Document your queries: Keep notes on effective question patterns
  4. Regular index updates: Refresh after adding new documents

These examples demonstrate Vector Bot's versatility across industries and use cases. Adapt the patterns and workflows to fit your specific needs and domain requirements.
