Installing LlamaIndex

pip install llama-index

For OpenAI:

pip install llama-index-llms-openai

For vector databases:

pip install llama-index-vector-stores-chroma

Project Structure

Loading Business Documents

from llama_index.core import SimpleDirectoryReader
documents = SimpleDirectoryReader(
    "./documents"
).load_data()

Creating an Index

from llama_index.core import VectorStoreIndex
index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)

The index enables semantic search over enterprise content.

Building a Query Engine

query_engine = index.as_query_engine()
response = query_engine.query(
    "Summarize last month's sales report."
)
print(response)

Automating Database Queries

Example:

from sqlalchemy import create_engine
engine = create_engine(
    "postgresql://user:password@localhost/company"
)

LlamaIndex can translate natural language into SQL queries.

Example:

“Show customers with unpaid invoices.”

Generated workflow:

Natural Language
       │
       ▼
SQL Generator
       │
       ▼
Database
       │
       ▼
Results

Automating API Calls

Example tool:

import requests
def get_weather(city):
    return requests.get(
        f"https://api.weatherapi.com/{city}"
    ).json()

The AI agent can determine when to invoke the API automatically.

Workflow Automation

Example pipeline:

Invoice Uploaded
        │
        ▼
OCR
        │
        ▼
Information Extraction
        │
        ▼
Accounting Database
        │
        ▼
Approval Workflow
        │
        ▼
Email Notification

Creating AI Agents

Example:

from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import FunctionAgent
agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=[get_weather]
)

Multi-Step Automation

Example workflow:

      ├─────────────► CRM
      │
      ├─────────────► ERP
      │
      ├─────────────► Inventory
      │
      └─────────────► Email Service

Background Task Automation

Example:

Schedule Job
Read Emails
Summarize
Categorize
Store Results

FastAPI Integration

from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI()
@app.post("/ask")
async def ask(question: str):
    return {
        "answer": str(
            query_engine.query(question)
        )
    }
