User Interface for NVIDIA RAG Blueprint#

After you deploy the NVIDIA RAG Blueprint, use the following procedure to start testing and experimenting in the NVIDIA RAG Blueprint User Interface (RAG UI).

Important

The RAG UI is provided as a sample and for experimentation only. It is not intended for your production environment.

  1. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8090 for a local deployment or http://<workstation-ip-address>:8090 for a remote deployment.

    The RAG UI appears.

  3. Choose some files to upload in the collection. Wait while the files are ingested.

    Note

    The UI file upload interface has a hard limit of 100 files per upload batch. When selecting more than 100 files, only the first 100 are processed. For bulk uploads beyond this limit, use multiple upload batches or the programmatic API.

  4. Create two collections, one named test_collection_1 and one named test_collection_2.

  5. For Collections, add the two collections that you created.

  6. In Ask a question about your documents, submit a query related (or not) to the documents that you uploaded to the collections. You can query a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 5 collections. You should see results similar to the following.
