Creating and Configuring Codex Projects in the Web App

Recall that a Codex Project is the database that stores user queries and their desired answers. Creating one is the first step to integrating Codex with your RAG app.

Creating a Project

To create a new project in the Web App, click the Projects tab, and then the Create new button. Fill out a name and description for your project – these should help you track which RAG application this Codex Project is connected to. You can optionally configure advanced settings of the Project.

These choices can be edited later. After clicking Save, you should see your new Project show up at the top of the Projects homepage.

Editing Project Settings

The configurations that you specified upon Project creation can be edited at any time in the Project Settings. Configuration changes are saved instantly. Learn more about Project configurations in the Projects concepts guide.

Access Keys

Access keys are necessary for using the Codex API to connect this Codex Project with a RAG application. They can be set up in your Project Settings.

More than one access key can be created and used. Deleting a key will permanenly revoke API access for it.

Next Steps

Once you’ve created a Codex Project, you’ll want to integrate it with your RAG application by following one of the Integration Tutorials.
