Chroma

Project29.5K

Open-source infrastructure for building document and vector search workflows.

What you can build

  • Index policy text with source metadata; a staff question returns relevant passages and source identifiers for a human to verify.
  • Compare catalog descriptions within metadata-defined groups; emit likely duplicate pairs for review without automatically merging products.
  • Match unresolved support cases to published help content; produce unmatched case groups and a prioritized list of candidate topics to document.
  • Retrieve related records for each research abstract; transform the matches into paper groups with titles and identifiers for a researcher to inspect.
  • Index procedures with ownership metadata; use a changed procedure as a query and output potentially affected documents as a review checklist.

Try this prompt

Build an end-to-end duplicate-product review tool using Chroma. Accept catalog records with unique IDs, descriptions, and category metadata; store them in a collection and find likely similar pairs within matching categories. Show descriptions and IDs side by side, let a reviewer mark each pair as duplicate or distinct, and save decisions separately so no catalog record is merged or deleted. Include a small input example and explain how to run the workflow.

Get started

  1. Choose a client setup

    The README documents the Python client package and a JavaScript package. For Python, install the client package; use an in-memory client for prototyping or client-server mode for a local persistent path.

  2. Create and populate a collection

    Create a collection, then add documents with unique IDs and optional metadata. Chroma can handle tokenization, embedding, and indexing, or you can provide your own embeddings.

  3. Query and refine results

    Query a collection with text to retrieve similar results. Add metadata or document-content filters when appropriate; collections also support getting records by ID, updating, and deleting.

License & notes

Apache-2.0The repository is Apache-2.0, which permits commercial use subject to its license and notice obligations when distributing copies or modifications. Self-hosting requires suitable compute and storage. Embedding or model costs depend on the embedding approach you choose. Chroma Cloud is a separate hosted service; its usage costs are not specified here.

  • Chroma supplies search infrastructure, not a finished application; ingestion interfaces, access control, review screens, and operational safeguards must be built separately.
  • Embedding choices affect model requirements and possible external service costs. Self-hosted deployments also require compute and storage; hosted Chroma Cloud has separate costs.
