Phidata uses OpenAIEmbedder as the default embeder for the vector database. The OpenAIEmbedder class is used to embed text data into vectors using the OpenAI API. Get your key from here.

​
Usage

cookbook/embedders/openai_embedder.py
from phi.agent import AgentKnowledge
from phi.vectordb.pgvector import PgVector
from phi.embedder.openai import OpenAIEmbedder

embeddings = OpenAIEmbedder().get_embedding("Embed me")

# Print the embeddings and their dimensions
print(f"Embeddings: {embeddings[:5]}")
print(f"Dimensions: {len(embeddings)}")

# Example usage:
knowledge_base = AgentKnowledge(
    vector_db=PgVector(
        db_url="postgresql+psycopg://ai:ai@localhost:5532/ai",
        table_name="openai_embeddings",
        embedder=OpenAIEmbedder(),
    ),
    num_documents=2,
)
