## Choose when

### Choose RAG-Driven-Generative-AI if…

- RAG-Driven-Generative-AI is primarily Jupyter Notebook; rag-demystified is Python.
- License: RAG-Driven-Generative-AI is MIT, rag-demystified is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to RAG-Driven-Generative-AI: advanced-rag, chroma, embedding-models, fine-tuning.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability, Vector Databases.
- When you need advanced RAG capabilities with LlamaIndex's specific toolset

### Choose rag-demystified if…

- rag-demystified is primarily Python; RAG-Driven-Generative-AI is Jupyter Notebook.
- License: rag-demystified is Apache-2.0, RAG-Driven-Generative-AI is MIT.
- Tags unique to rag-demystified: ai, chatgpt, gpt, llm.
- Use when you want an in-depth understanding and customization of the RAG pipeline as it is built from scratch, enabling a deep dive into implementation details.

## When NOT to use RAG-Driven-Generative-AI

- If your project strictly requires customization beyond the offered models from OpenAI and Hugging Face
- When you prefer alternative database integrations not including Deep Lake or Pinecone

## When NOT to use rag-demystified

- Not suitable for those needing out-of-the-box solutions or users who prefer using pre-configured RAG tools as it requires detailed coding knowledge.
- Avoid if the project timeline is tight since building and customizing from scratch can be time-consuming compared to other available pre-built options.
