Great video. I am trying to go along but I don't find "Search & Conversation" in the console. Did the naming change in the last 9 months? According to the previous comment it is not "Vector Search", correct? Is it "Agent Builder - A platform for search, recommendations, and conversation apps"? That sounds like the closest match...
Ha the naming is so confusing isn't it. You have two levels of services: the newer Vertex AI Search & Conversation and the much lower-level Vertex AI Vector Search. When you uploaded the PDF and had the Vertex Search service open I was like OOH maybe you know something I don't! But AFAICT Vector Search cannot process PDFs directly, there is quite a lot of work required before that point: text conversion, chunking, embedding, etc etc.
Hi Julian. Thanks for your comment. Vertex AI Search is aimed at non AI/ML developers so you get a simpler experience with fewer choices and the details (such as how the docs are chunked) are handled behind the scenes. For open ended RAG with Vertex AI, Google just shared a reference architecture cloud.google.com/architecture/rag-capable-gen-ai-app-using-vertex-ai
