# Flowise with Upstash Vector and Redis

Flowise is an open source low-code tool for developers to build customized LLM orchestration flows & AI agents. With Upstash Vector and Upstash Redis, you can extend your Flowise flows to include semantic search, caching, and conversation memory.

## Install

To get started, you can install Flowise locally using npm. Run:

```bash
npm install -g flowise
```
Start Flowise:
    
```bash
npx flowise start
```

Open: http://localhost:3000

You also need to set up Upstash services:
1. Create a **Vector Index** in the [Upstash Console](https://console.upstash.com/vector). To learn more about index creation, you can check out [this page](https://docs.upstash.com/vector/overall/getstarted).
2. Create a **Redis Database** in the [Upstash Console](https://console.upstash.com/redis). To learn more about Redis database creation, you can check out [this page](/redis/overall/getstarted).

## Nodes Overview

Flowise supports multiple Upstash integrations. Below are the nodes and their functionalities:

### 1. Upstash Vector Node

Use the **Upstash Vector** node to perform semantic search and store document embeddings. Connect the node to document loaders and embedding components for indexing and querying.

### 2. Upstash Redis Cache Node

The **Upstash Redis Cache** node caches LLM responses in a serverless Redis database.

### 3. Upstash Redis-Backed Chat Memory Node

The **Upstash Redis-Backed Chat Memory** node summarizes conversations and stores the memory in Redis. This enables persistent, context-aware interactions across multiple sessions.
