Get started fast with tutorials, guides and notebooks

There's no better way to learn than by doing! These examples get you started with creating collections, ingesting data, and then searching through it on the Vantage Platform.


📖 Tutorial: Basic semantic search

In this tutorial, we'll build a search index to enable rich semantic search for a set of furniture products, using their text descriptions. We will load and search furniture listings crawled from various sellers on Etsy. This same process can be used to upload your own product catalog to enable rich semantic search on your catalog.

By the end of this tutorial, we will have a furniture collection available via an API and use semantic search queries to find items in the collection.

Check out the basic semantic search tutorial.

Alternatively, check out the basic semantic search notebook, using the Vantage Python SDK.


📖 Tutorial: Basic embedding search

In this tutorial, we'll build a search index to enable rich semantic search across a set of furniture products, using both product images and text descriptions, with the help of the OpenAI CLIP model. We will load and search furniture listings sourced from various sellers on Etsy. This same process can be used when you want to use a custom embedding model that we don't support natively.

Check out the basic embedding search tutorial, using the Vantage Console UI.
