Embedchain lets you build data pipelines on your own data sources and deploy it in production in less than a minute. It can load, index, retrieve, and sync any unstructured data.

Install embedchain python package:

```bash
pip install embedchain
```

Creating a pipeline involves 3 steps:

<Steps>
  <Step title="⚙️ Import pipeline instance">
```python
from embedchain import Pipeline
p = Pipeline(name="Elon Musk")
```
  </Step>

  <Step title="🗃️ Add data sources">
```python
# Add different data sources
p.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk")
p.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")
# You can also add local data sources such as pdf, csv files etc.
# p.add("/path/to/file.pdf")
```
  </Step>
  <Step title="💬 Deploy your pipeline to Embedchain platform">
```python
p.deploy()
```
  </Step>
</Steps>

That's it. Now, head to the [Embedchain platform](https://app.embedchain.ai) and your pipeline is available there. Make sure to set the `OPENAI_API_KEY` 🔑 environment variable in the code.

After you deploy your pipeline to Embedchain platform, you can still add more data sources and update the pipeline multiple times.
