+# Building a Multimodal RAG Pipeline with Elasticsearch: The Story of Gotham City
+
+This repository contains the code for implementing a Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system using Elasticsearch. The system processes and analyzes different types of evidence (images, audio, text, and depth maps) to solve a crime in Gotham City.
+
+## Overview
+
+The pipeline demonstrates how to:
+- Generate unified embeddings for multiple modalities using ImageBind
+- Store and search vectors efficiently in Elasticsearch
+- Analyze evidence using GPT-4 to generate forensic reports
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.x
+- Elasticsearch cluster (cloud or local)
+- OpenAI API key - Setup an OpenAI account and create a [secret key](https://platform.openai.com/docs/quickstart)
+- 8GB+ RAM
+- GPU (optional but recommended)
+
+## Code execution 
+
+We provide a Google Colab notebook that allows you to explore the entire pipeline interactively:
+- [Open the Multimodal RAG Pipeline Notebook](notebook/01-mmrag-blog-quick-start.ipynb)
+- This notebook includes step-by-step instructions and explanations for each stage of the pipeline

+
+## Sample Data
+
+The repository includes sample evidence files:
+- Images: Crime scene photos and security camera footage
+- Audio: Suspicious sound recordings
+- Text: Mysterious notes and riddles
+- Depth Maps: 3D scene captures
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Evidence Collection**: Files are organized by modality in the `data/` directory
+2. **Embedding Generation**: ImageBind converts each piece of evidence into a 1024-dimensional vector
+3. **Vector Storage**: Elasticsearch stores embeddings with metadata for efficient retrieval
+4. **Similarity Search**: New evidence is compared against the database using k-NN search
+5. **Analysis**: GPT-4 analyzes the connections between evidence to identify suspects
