+Ingestion complete! You can now run privateGPT.py to query your documents

 It will create a `db` folder containing the local vectorstore. Will take 20-30 seconds per document, depending on the size of the document.
 You can ingest as many documents as you want, and all will be accumulated in the local embeddings database.
 If you want to start from an empty database, delete the `db` folder.
