Congrats on the launch! Definitely felt the pain of building a custom ETL into a vector db for a recent LLM project. Is there a way to use this independently of the Retool UI builder?

Thanks! Yes so under the hood it's all in a postgres DB with a pgvector column + some metadata. If you go to retool database, you can grab the connection string and use the embeddings with your own apps. I'd like to open this up to bring your own database and integrate with other common vector DBs (Chroma, Pinecone, Mongo vector, etc) next
Would you like to write about the process of creating this for Stack Overflow blog or share some quotes we can use? We're planning to publish a few things on vector DB, embedding, and RAG in the near future.
Absolutely, happy to help! jamie at retool DOT com
