NoteFinder: AI-Powered Note Retrieval Application

Overview

NoteFinder is a Django-based application designed to assist users in efficiently retrieving relevant notes based on specific concepts or keywords. Often, individuals take numerous notes on various topics, making it challenging to locate specific information later.

Features

• Note Management: Users can create, edit, and organize their notes within the application.
• AI-Powered Search: NoteFinder employs the RAG approach to intelligently retrieve relevant notes based on user queries.
• Vector Database Integration: ChromaDB is utilized as the vector database to efficiently store and retrieve note vectors.
