# Recipe RAG Image Agent

This example demonstrates a multi-modal RAG agent that uses Groq and OpenAITools to search a PDF recipe knowledge base and generate a step-by-step visual guide for recipes.

## Code

```python ref/recipe_rag_image.py theme={null}
"""Example: Multi-Modal RAG & Image Agent

An agent that uses Llama 4 for multi-modal RAG and OpenAITools to create a visual, step-by-step image manual for a recipe.

Run: `pip install openai agno groq cohere` to install the dependencies
