Where Haystack meets real vector DBs and models
To stop Haystack users from guessing how integrations with vector DBs and model providers actually work.

What it does This repository is a curated collection of Jupyter notebooks demonstrating concrete integrations with the Haystack AI framework. Each notebook acts as a small, runnable recipe for connecting Haystack to specific model providers, vector databases, retrieval techniques, or experimental features. It functions as a community-driven appendix to the official documentation.
The interesting bit
The project treats examples like actual cookbook entries: every notebook is indexed in index.toml with topics and an experimental flag, so you can browse by ingredient rather than guessing from filenames. Contributors can even ship a new recipe directly from Google Colab without touching a local terminal.
Key highlights
- Covers specific integrations with model providers, vector databases, and retrieval techniques
- Most notebooks are small, focused demos rather than sprawling applications
- Community contributions accepted via PR, including direct saves from Colab
- Indexed in
index.tomlwith titles, topics, and experimental-feature flags
Verdict Worth a bookmark if you are building with Haystack and prefer to start from working code rather than abstract documentation. If you do not use Haystack, there is nothing here for you.
