Short answer

How can I add or remove data from Zilliz using AI?

You can tell your AI client to push new records into your collections or delete specific ones that are no longer relevant. This keeps your vector database current without manual database management. Here is how the process works.

Data outcomes

What changes in your database

These are the results of your requests.

SYNCED

New data added

The AI inserts new vectors into your collection. Your search results stay up to date with the latest information.

CLEANED

Old data removed

The AI deletes specific records you point out. This prevents outdated or incorrect data from affecting your AI's responses.

ACCURATE

Better retrieval

By managing your entities, you ensure your AI client pulls from a clean and relevant set of vectors.

HUMAN

Manual control

You decide exactly which IDs or metadata filters the AI uses to target specific records for removal.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your AI client handles the heavy lifting of database operations.

  1. Parse the request

    Your AI client reads your message to figure out if you want to add new vectors or remove existing ones.

    insert_entitiesdelete_entities

  2. Add new records

    The AI sends new data points and their metadata to your Zilliz collection.

    insert_entities

  3. Remove specific entities

    The AI finds the exact records you want to get rid of and removes them from the collection.

    delete_entities

  4. Finalize update

    The AI completes the database operation and tells you when the collection is ready.

    Can the AI create a brand new collection?

    No. This connector only allows you to add or remove entities within collections that already exist.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete my entire database?

    No. The AI can only delete specific entities that you explicitly identify in your prompt.

  • 03

    Can I update a single field in an existing record?

    No. You can only add new entities or delete existing ones.
