This example demonstrates VoltAgent integration with Chroma vector database for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) capabilities. It includes two different agent configurations showcasing automatic and tool-based retrieval patterns.

Option 1: Local Development

Start Chroma server:

npm run chroma run

Run the example:

npm create voltagent-app@latest -- --example with-chroma
cd with-chroma
cp .env.example .env  # Add your OPENAI_API_KEY
npm run dev

Option 2: Chroma Cloud

No server setup needed! Just configure your environment:

npm create voltagent-app@latest -- --example with-chroma
cd with-chroma
cp .env.example .env  # Add OPENAI_API_KEY, CHROMA_API_KEY, CHROMA_TENANT, CHROMA_DATABASE
npm run dev

• Two Agent Types: Automatic retrieval vs. tool-based retrieval
• Pre-loaded Knowledge Base: Sample documents ready to query
• Vector Search: Semantic search capabilities with Chroma
• Source Tracking: References to used documents in responses
