Customizing Vector Database

[aperez900907]

Hi, I'm unable to find a way to Customize the Vector Database for retrieval from custom vector stores in the current version 0.4.
Will this version support that or is there any other way to extend the retrieval agent capabilities?

Thanks!!!!

You will need to implement a custom memory component with your vector database connection. See example in https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/blob/main/python/packages/autogen-ext/src/autogen_ext/memory/chromadb.py.

We may choose to refactor some of these vector database connectors using the Semantic Kernel's API so we have a single vector database abstraction to work with.

Thanks so much!!!
It will be great to have the opportunity to connect to a variety of retrievers from custom vector stores as a feature to extend the default connection.
