## Choose when

### Choose aisearch-openai-rag-audio if…

- aisearch-openai-rag-audio is primarily Python; vault-ai is JavaScript.
- Tags unique to aisearch-openai-rag-audio: ai-azd-templates, azd-templates, azure, azure-ai-search.
- Also covers Speech & Audio.
- When you need to integrate real-time voice interactions powered by the gpt-4o-realtime-preview model, which can enhance conversational interfaces.

### Choose vault-ai if…

- vault-ai is primarily JavaScript; aisearch-openai-rag-audio is Python.
- Tags unique to vault-ai: ai, artificial-intelligence, chatgpt, generative.
- Also covers Vector Databases.
- When you need a custom knowledge base that can be queried using a generative AI model, such as extending ChatGPT with historical context from uploaded documents in formats like PDFs or txt.

## When NOT to use aisearch-openai-rag-audio

- If your application demands low-latency responses where real-time analysis by the gpt-4o-realtime-preview model might add significant delay, this tool may not be suitable.
- Avoid using this tool if your project is based on non-Azure environments as it heavily relies on Azure AI Search and OpenAI in conjunction with VoiceRAG pattern.

## When NOT to use vault-ai

- When your requirements do not include uploading custom content for the AI to learn from, as vault-ai focuses on integrating a knowledge base with ChatGPT.
- If you prefer using other vector search databases such as Qdrant instead of Pinecone, as vault-ai is specifically designed around Pinecone.
