This process involves extracting document pages as images, embedding them, storing these embeddings in a Qdrant vector database, and querying it to generate relevant responses. The post also highlights Firecrawl Extract for web scraping and generating code snippets programmatically. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
