Creating Your Vector Store

Follow these steps to create your first vector store:
  1. Prepare Your Content
    • Ensure your content is loaded into your library
    • Wait for processing to complete (indicated by three solid white dots)
  2. Initialize Vector Store Creation
    • Navigate to the Memory section
    • Click the + button to create a new memory
    • Select “Vector” as your memory type
  3. Select Content
    • Choose the content samples you want to include in your vector store
    • Click the “Next” button in the top right when ready
  4. Configure Settings
    • Adjust chunk and overlap sizes if needed:
      • Default chunk size: 250 words
      • Default overlap: 10%
    • For most use cases, these default settings work well
Note: The system preserves source URI and sourceTitle metadata, allowing you to reference original documents during retrieval.

​
Understanding the Processing Stage

During processing, you’ll see:
  • Files Processed counter at the top
    • Files being chunked and vectorized
  • Memory Status
    • This shows status of the memory creation across all of your files.
Note: The entire process typically takes 10 minutes or less. You can safely navigate away and return to check progress.

​
Viewing Your Vector Store

When processing completes:
  • Step three changes from a “3” icon to a “Check” icon
  • The Memory page displays vector statistics including:
    • Number of points
    • Optimizer details
    • Other relevant metrics

​
Using Your Vector Memory

You can use your vector memory by copying the memoryID in the top right corner of the graph viewer, or in the graph preview screen. Use this with our API or Python client to query your vector memory. Alternatively, you can test your vector memory by creating a voice bot through the studio.
