how to access vector files stored in openai dashboard in livekit

Thanks for reaching out, Harsh. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Thanks for reaching out! I wanted to share that vector files stored in the OpenAI dashboard can’t be accessed directly within LiveKit. But don’t worry—you can still create and manage vector data right inside your LiveKit application by using OpenAI’s embeddings API. For instance, the
openai.create_embeddings
function lets you generate embeddings for your text, which you can then store locally in a vector database like Annoy, and easily retrieve relevant context when your agent is running. If you were hoping to use specific vector files from the OpenAI dashboard, it would be really helpful if you could let me know how those files are stored or referenced (maybe through the embeddings API or another service). That way, we can explore the best way to integrate everything smoothly for you. Sources: complex-agents/nutrition-assistant/README.md | OpenAI LLM integration guide | LiveKit Docs

i want the agent to use the information stored in vector db and files of openai

I'm glad you're interested in enabling a LiveKit agent to use information stored in a vector database and OpenAI files! A great way to achieve this is by implementing a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system. Here's a friendly overview of how it works: 1. Generating Embeddings: You can use OpenAI's
create_embeddings
API to transform your text into high-dimensional vectors, which helps the agent understand the content better. 2. Building a Vector Database: These embeddings are then stored in a vector database, like Annoy, along with metadata to make retrieval smooth and efficient. 3. Runtime Integration: During the agent's operation, you can query this vector database in real time to fetch relevant context. This can be done using function tools or by injecting the retrieved context directly into the agent's system instructions. 4. Enhancing User Experience: Tools such as
RAGHandler
can be really helpful to manage any response delays and keep users informed while the retrieval is happening. If you'd like, I’d be more than happy to walk you through any specific part of this setup—whether it’s generating embeddings, building the database, or integrating everything at runtime. Just let me know how I can assist you best!
