RAG Chatbot with Supabase pgvector
Chunk docs, generate embeddings, retrieve context, and stream grounded responses in a Next.js app.
Prerequisites
- Supabase project with pgvector enabled
- Embedding model provider key
- Next.js app using AI SDK
Implementation steps
Step 1
Ingest and embed
Split documentation into semantic chunks, embed each chunk, and store vector + metadata in Supabase with source references.
Step 2
Retrieve relevant context
For each user query, embed the query and run similarity search with thresholds. Combine top results and pass citations into model prompt.
Step 3
Stream grounded answers
Use server route streaming with safety instructions: answer only from provided context, cite sections, and refuse unsupported claims.
Expected outcome
A trustworthy retrieval-augmented assistant that answers from your knowledge base with citation-aware responses.
