+# LangChain Tutorial: From Prompts to RAG and AI Agents
+
+This folder provides the code examples for the Real Python tutorial [LangChain Tutorial: From Prompts to RAG and AI Agents](https://realpython.com/langchain-tutorial/).
+
+## Files
+
+- `build_vector_db.py`: Loads `reviews.csv` into a ChromaDB vector database in `chroma_data/`
+- `rag.py`: Answers questions about the patient reviews with a RAG chain
+- `agents.py`: Answers exact lookup questions with a tool-calling agent
+- `reviews.csv`: Synthetic patient reviews used in the RAG and agent sections
+
+## Setup
+
+Create and activate a virtual environment with Python 3.10 or later, and then install the dependencies:
+
+```console
+(venv) $ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and add your OpenAI API key:
+
+```dotenv
+OPENAI_API_KEY=<YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY>
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Run the scripts from this folder. First, build the vector database:
+
+```console
+(venv) $ python build_vector_db.py
+```
+
+Then, ask the RAG app about the reviews:
+
+```console
+(venv) $ python rag.py "Has anyone complained about communication with staff?"
+```
+
+Or ask the agent a lookup question:
+
+```console
+(venv) $ python agents.py "How many reviews does Laura Brown's hospital have?"
+```
