Quick Start
# Install LlamaIndex core and OpenAI integration
pip install llama-index llama-index-llms-openai
# Import modules
from llama_index.core import VectorStoreIndex, SimpleDirectoryReader
# Load documents from a directory
documents = SimpleDirectoryReader('./data').load_data()
# Build vector index
index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)
# Create query engine and ask questions
query_engine = index.as_query_engine()
response = query_engine.query("What are the key points mentioned in the documents?")
print(response)
