Uses PostgreSQL 16.4 with the Yelp open dataset (≈6.9M reviews, ~150k businesses), adds a TSVector full‑text column, then creates embeddings stored with pgvector/Azure OpenAI embeddings and a DISKANN vector index to run hybrid semantic + geospatial queries (PostGIS points) that return 20 ranked cafes near Delaware Art Museum matching “pet friendly” and “outdoor seating.” Results feed a retrieval‑augmented GPT‑4.0 LLM for grounded recommendations; a Python app and web demo are built and the approach works end‑to‑end.
