It provides methods for adding texts or documents to the store, searching for similar documents, and deleting documents.

Search scores are calculated using cosine similarity normalized to [0, 1].

• collection_name (str) – The name of the collection in the Zep store.

• api_key (Optional[str]) – The API key for the Zep API.

• config (Optional[CollectionConfig]) – The configuration for the collection. Required if the collection does not already exist.

• embedding (Optional[Embeddings]) – Optional embedding function to use to embed the texts. Required if the collection is not auto-embedded.

Attributes

embeddings
