Ever want to apply a vector search to your iOS or macOS app quickly and with minimal effort?

In 2024, I wrote an article for the vector DB platform company Weaviate on how to do that (see “Search with Benefits” article below).

I included a simple SwiftUI playground application to help you practice.

You can download the application source here.

Add your OpenAI key and you will be up and running immediately.

Included is an open-source Weaviate Vector database running in the cloud that is already loaded with data.

It was created using the following resources:
