 `vectara-agentic` is a Python library that let's you develop powerful AI assistants with Vectara, using Agentic-RAG:
 * Based on LlamaIndex Agent framework, customized for use with Vectara.
 * Supports the `ReAct` or `OpenAIAgent` agent types.
 * Includes many tools out of the box (e.g. for finance, legal and other verticals).
