It uses MongoDB felxible store capabilities to allow different type of threads and messages (Image, audio, video etc.) to be stored easily and effectivley \n\n\n**Atlas MongoDB Vector Store Node**\n\n- Atlas Vector Store tool allows the agent to get up to date points of interest from our vector store database populated and embedded with OpenAI Embeddings.\n\n\n### You will need to:\n1. Setup your Google API Credentials for the Gemini LLM\n2. Setup your OpenAI Credentials for the OpenAI embedding nodes.\n3. [MongoDB Atlas project and Cluster](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/tutorial/create-new-cluster/). Get a hold of the connection string and make sure to have your IP Access list enabled (for ease of testing try `0.0.0.0/0` access.\n4. Setup you MongoDB Credentials account with the correct connection string and database name.\n5. **Vector Search Tool** - uses Atlas Vector Search index you will create on your database for the `points_of_interest` collection:\n\n```\n// index name : \"vector_index\"\n// If you change an embedding provider make sure the numDimensions correspond to the model.\n{\n  \"fields\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"vector\",\n      \"path\": \"embedding\",\n      \"numDimensions\": 1536,\n      \"similarity\": \"cosine\"\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nOnce all of that is configured you will need to send the loading webhook with some data points (see example).\n\nThis should create vectorised data in  `points_of_interest` collection.\n\nOnce you have data points there try to ask the Agent questions about the data points and test the response. Eg. \"Where should I go for a romantic getaway?\"\n\n**Additional Resources**\n- [MongoDB Atlas Vector Search](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-vector-search/tutorials/vector-search-quick-start/?utm=n8n.io)\n- [n8n Atlas Vector Search docs](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/cluster-nodes/root-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.vectorstoremongodbatlas?utm=n8n.io)"
