Follow our [quick start guide](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/get-started/search-tutorial) to get some initial hands-on experience.\n1. Learn how to [create an index](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/ai/search-and-query/indexing).\n1. Learn how to [query your data](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/ai/search-and-query/query).\n1. [Install Redis Insight](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/redisinsight), connect it to your Redis database, and then use [Redis Copilot](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/tools/insight#redis-copilot) to help you learn how to execute complex queries against your own data using simple, plain language prompts.\n1. Open the [AI agent builder](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/ai/agent-builder) and choose the **Knowledge Assistant** template to generate a working RAG agent built on Redis vector search.\n\n> [!TIP]\n> See Redis vector search in a real workflow: [Redis Repo Memory](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/redis-repo-memory) is a GitHub Action that surfaces related past PRs, issues, and commits on every pull request. Add it to any repository in a few minutes."
