The author implements a custom ingestion source to crawl web pages, parse HTML, and generate vector embeddings. The resulting chatbot answers questions about the podcast, citing relevant episodes. The ingestion process is slow, taking about 40 minutes for 250 pages. The post ends with suggestions for improvement.
