This will store your embedded documents with metadata.\nHere is a [video tutorial](https://youtu.be/JjBofKJnYIU) on setting that up.\n\n### \u2705 Step 2: Connect Your [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys) Embeddings \nUse the `text-embedding-3-small` or similar model for embedding your documents. Make sure your API key is active.\n\n### \u2705 Step 3: Connect Your [OpenAI API Key](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys) \nThis powers your embedding generation model. Add it via the HTTP Request node or a credential.\n\n### \u2705 Step 4: Add Your [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai/) API Key \nUse this for your main RAG agent\u2014add your key via HTTP request or credential node.\n\n### \u2705 Step 5: Connect a [Cohere](https://dashboard.cohere.com/api-keys) Re-Ranker \nThe re-ranker improves answer quality. Add your API key for better relevance ranking on retrieved documents.\n\n### \u2705 Step 6: Vectorize Documents with Metadata \nEnsure your data ingestion process tags documents with meaningful metadata before vectorization. This helps with structured retrieval.\n\n### \ud83d\udcac Final Step: Start Chatting \nPrompt your agent and test the RAG flow end-to-end\u2014watch it pull context-rich answers from your vector store.\n",
