Build a Business‑Specific DeepSeek Knowledge Base with VectorDB (Code & No‑Code)
This guide explains how to create a proprietary knowledge base for DeepSeek by leveraging Baidu Cloud's VectorDB, offering both code‑first and no‑code approaches to integrate internal data securely and enable accurate AI‑driven Q&A for business applications.
1. Code Mode
First, enable VectorDB, AppBuilder, and ModelBuilder in the Baidu Intelligent Cloud console and install the latest AppBuilder‑SDK. New users receive a free VectorDB trial instance.
After activation, obtain the VectorDB instance ID, username, password, AppBuilder API Key, and ModelBuilder AK/SK. Ensure DeepSeek R1 permissions are granted in ModelBuilder.
Using this information, create a knowledge base, upload documents, and deploy a Q&A application. Detailed steps are available at https://cloud.baidu.com/doc/VDB/s/bm7k9sn3s.
Overall workflow is illustrated below:
2. No‑Code Mode
After enabling AppBuilder, create a knowledge base linked to VectorDB in the console, then use the "Q&A Application" feature to connect the knowledge base with the DeepSeek large model for answering queries.
The complete process is shown in the following diagram:
For a video walkthrough of the steps, see the linked tutorial.
