Introduction

In our previous post, we discussed the importance of providing context when using large language models like ChatGPT to generate content. We explored the “garbage in, garbage out” concept and emphasized the need for precise, clear, and adequate context to receive accurate, relevant, and coherent information. We also shared two practical strategies for providing context: including context directly in the prompt and using embeddings.

In that post, I promised to provide a step-by-step guide on creating a script for generating and using embeddings and provide an example repository for reference. In this follow-up post, we will dive into the process of building a powerful, context-aware chatbot using Node.js, which supports not only unlimited context but also unlimited chat history in under 100 lines of code.
