# Retrieval - Introduction by Examples
We introduce ``llmware`` through self-contained examples.
# SEMANTIC Retrieval Example
```python
"""
This 'getting started' example demonstrates how to use basic semantic retrieval with the Query class
1. Create a sample library
2. Run a basic semantic query
3. View the results

Check back often - we are updating these examples regularly - and many of these examples have companion videos as well.
