Embedding Operations
Embedding | New Store
The Embedding new store
operation creates a new in-memory embedding and exports it to a physical file. The in-memory embedding in MuleSoft AI Chain persists its data through file exports upon any changes.
Input Configuration
Module Configuration
This refers to the MuleSoft AI Chain LLM Configuration set up in the Getting Started section.
General Operation Fields
- Store Name: Contains the full file path for the embedding store to be saved. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten. Ensure the file path is accessible. You can also use a DataWeave expression for this field, e.g.,
#[mule.home ++ "/apps/" ++ app.name ++ payload.storeName]
.
XML Configuration
Below is the XML configuration for this operation:
<ms-aichain:embedding-new-store
doc:name="Embedding new store"
doc:id="e3b52f5f-b765-4fad-9ecc-34755f386db4"
storeName='#[mule.home ++ "/apps/" ++ app.name ++ payload.storeName]'
/>
Output Configuration
Response Payload
This operation responds with a json
payload containing the status of the store. In addition, metadata attributes, such as the store name, are provided separately from the main payload.
Example Response Payload
{
"status": "created"
}
Attributes
Along with the JSON payload, the operation also returns attributes, which include information about token usage:
{
"storeName": "knowledge-store"
}
- storeName: The name of the generated store.
Example Use Cases
- Create a new in-memory vector store for storing document embeddings.
- Export an in-memory embedding to a physical file for persistence across sessions.
Embedding | Add Document to Store
The Embedding add document to store
operation adds a document into an embedding store and exports it to a file. The document is ingested into the embedding using in-memory embedding. The in-memory embedding in MuleSoft AI Chain persists its data through file exports upon any changes.
Input Configuration
Module Configuration
This refers to the MuleSoft AI Chain LLM Configuration set up in the Getting Started section.

Embedding | Query from Store
The Embedding query from store
operation retrieves information based on a plain text prompt using semantic search from an in-memory embedding store. This operation does not involve the use of a large language model (LLM). Instead, it directly searches the embedding store for relevant text segments based on the prompt. The embedding store is loaded into memory prior to retrieval.
Input Configuration
Module Configuration
This refers to the MuleSoft AI Chain LLM Configuration set up in the Getting Started section.
General Operation Fields
- Store Name: Contains the full file path for the embedding store to be saved. If the file already exists
, it will be overwritten. Ensure the file path is accessible, e.g. #[mule.home ++ "/apps/" ++ app.name ++ payload.storeName]
.
- Question: The plain text prompt to be sent to the in-memory vector store, which is converted into embedding and used for semantic search to find similar text segments.
- Max Results: Specifies the maximum number of results to be returned with the query.
- Min Score: Defines the minimum score to be used to identify and return results.
- Get Latest: If
true
, the store file is loaded each time before running this operation, which might slow down performance. We recommend using this flag only when building the knowledge store. Once deployed with the Mule App, set it tofalse
for better performance.

Embedding | Get Info from Store
The Embedding get info from store
operation retrieves information from an in-memory embedding store based on a plain text prompt. This operation utilizes a large language model (LLM) to enhance the response by interpreting the retrieved information and generating a more comprehensive or contextually enriched answer. The embedding store is loaded into memory prior to retrieval, and the LLM processes the results to refine the final response.
