+# LanceDB
+
+LanceDB is an embedded vector database for AI applications. It is open source and distributed with an Apache-2.0 license.
+
+LanceDB datasets are persisted to disk and can be shared in Python.
+
+## Setup
+
+```bash
+npm install -S vectordb
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Create a new index from texts
+
+```python
+import os
+import tempfile
+from langchain.vectorstores import LanceDB
+from langchain.embeddings.openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
+from vectordb import connect
+
+
+async def run():
+    dir = tempfile.mkdtemp(prefix="lancedb-")
+    db = await connect(dir)
+    table = await db.create_table("vectors", [{"vector": [0] * 1536, "text": "sample", "id": 1}])
+
+    vector_store = await LanceDB.from_texts(
+        ["Hello world", "Bye bye", "hello nice world"],
+        [{"id": 2}, {"id": 1}, {"id": 3}],
+        OpenAIEmbeddings(),
+        table=table,
+    )
+
+    result_one = await vector_store.similarity_search("hello world", 1)
+    print(result_one)
+    # [ Document(page_content='hello nice world', metadata={'id': 3}) ]
+
+
+# Run the function
+import asyncio
+
+asyncio.run(run())
+```
