LlamaIndex APIs move quickly—prefer the official docs. This page lists primary documentation, usual entry points, and related courses on this site.


Official


Where this course maps onto official docs

TopicOfficial location (concept)
FunctionAgent, tools, ContextGetting started → Starter tutorial
SimpleDirectoryReader, Nodes, pipelinesUnderstanding RAG → Loading
VectorStoreIndex, persistStoring / indexing modules
as_query_engine, synthesizersUnderstanding RAG → Querying
@step, StartEvent / StopEventLlamaAgents Workflows
Chroma / Postgres / QdrantIntegrations → Vector stores

Older defaults are often gpt-3.5-turbo and text-embedding-ada-002. This tutorial’s samples use gpt-4o-mini and text-embedding-3-small. Diff against the current starter page before you upgrade.


CourseLinkWhen to open it
RAG (concepts)/en/rag/Chunking, recall, hallucinations, framework-agnostic
LangChain/en/langchain/Agent harness, middleware, LangGraph
CrewAI/en/crewai/Role-based multi-agent crews
Ollama/en/ollama/Local LLM / embeddings instead of OpenAI
Hugging Face/en/huggingface/Open embedding and eval models
PostgreSQL/en/postgresql/The database behind pgvector

A useful order: RAG course for principles → LlamaIndex for the data layer → LangChain or CrewAI when you need a heavier agent harness.

Suggested exercises

  1. Run example 1 on 3–5 of your own Markdown files; explain one source_nodes hit
  2. Add a read-only tool (e.g. today’s date) and watch when the agent calls it
  3. Replace the in-memory index with Chroma PersistentClient; query after restart
  4. Move chunk_size from 256 to 1024; compare cited chunks for the same question
  5. Read official JokeFlow; add retrieval as an @step using only documented parameters
