RAG: Context-Aware Chunking | Google Drive to Pinecone via OpenRouter & Gemini
This workflow can automatically extract text from Google Drive documents, using a context-aware approach for chunk processing. It converts the text chunks into vectors through OpenRouter and Google Gemini, and stores them in the Pinecone database. Its main advantage lies in improving the accuracy and relevance of document retrieval, avoiding the shortcomings of traditional search methods in semantic understanding. It is suitable for various scenarios such as enterprise knowledge base construction, large document management, and intelligent question-and-answer systems, achieving full-process automation of document handling.
Workflow Name
RAG: Context-Aware Chunking | Google Drive to Pinecone via OpenRouter & Gemini
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automates the extraction of text content from Google Drive documents and performs context-aware chunking of the documents. By leveraging OpenRouter’s language models and Google Gemini’s text embedding capabilities, the text chunks are converted into vector representations and stored in the Pinecone vector database. An intelligent agent generates concise contextual summaries for each text chunk, enhancing retrieval accuracy and relevance.
Core Problems Addressed
- Automates the splitting and contextual understanding of long documents, overcoming the semantic limitations of traditional full-text search.
- Optimizes vector search effectiveness through context-enhanced chunking, improving the precision of search and question-answering systems.
- Enables end-to-end automation from document acquisition to vector storage without manual intervention.
Application Scenarios
- Building and intelligent retrieval of enterprise internal knowledge bases
- Indexing and rapid navigation of large documents or reports
- Contextual preprocessing for intelligent Q&A systems
- Any scenario requiring transformation of unstructured documents into vector data to support semantic search
Main Workflow Steps
- Manual Workflow Trigger: Start the process by clicking the “Test workflow” button.
- Fetch Google Drive Document: Download the specified Google Doc and convert it to plain text format.
- Text Chunking: Split the document into multiple sections or paragraphs based on specified delimiters.
- Prepare for Iterative Processing: Expand each chunk into individual processing units.
- Context Generation: Use OpenRouter’s language model combined with the overall document content to generate concise contextual descriptions for each text chunk.
- Concatenate Text and Context: Merge the generated context with the text chunk to form a richer semantic representation.
- Text Vectorization: Invoke the Google Gemini model to convert the concatenated text into vector embeddings.
- Store Vector Data: Insert the generated vectors into the Pinecone vector database to enable efficient subsequent semantic retrieval.
- Iterate Over All Text Chunks: Complete vectorization and storage for the entire document.
