What is a vector database? Traditional
databases like PostgresQL or MySQL are
used to store structured data in the
form of rows and columns. But right now
in the AI age, vector databases are used
to store unstructured data like audio,
video, PDF, code in the form of
numerical vectors or embeddings. Using
these vectors or vector databases, we
can create powerful AI use cases like
semantic search which is to find similar
videos or audios based on meaning. Also,
personal recommendation system that are
used by Netflix or Amazon, rag or
retrieval augmented generation and even
face recognition or voice similarity.
Some of the popular vector databases
that you can start learning are Pine
Cone, VV8, Milwis or Open Search. And

what is vector database | vector database tutorial | vector databases in ai explained | rag vector llm In this video we look at vector databases, how they work, and why they are critical for modern AI, GenAI, and LLM-based applications. We explain what vectors are, how embeddings are created from text, images, and audio, and how vector similarity search enables semantic search, recommendations, and AI-powered retrieval systems. You’ll learn how vector databases store and index high-dimensional vectors, how cosine similarity and nearest neighbor search work, and where vector databases fit in RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architectures. We also cover real-world use cases such as semantic search, chatbots, recommendation engines, fraud detection, and personalization. Finally, we explore popular vector databases and tools used in production today, including Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, FAISS, ChromaDB, Qdrant, OpenSearch Vector Engine, and PostgreSQL with pgvector, and discuss when to use managed vs open-source options.
