As an administrator, you can create your own custom embedding model to use in AI Search RAG application to generate embeddings for semantic indexing.  
The end-to end configuration for onboarding a bring your own custom embedding model includes:

1. Create a connection and credential alias for the embedding model and complete its setup. For more information, see [Create a connection and credential alias for a custom embedding model](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=connection-alias&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).
2. [Configure a custom embedding model](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/xp82pfOPblIDGr~1gqDqEA "Create your custom embedding model in the Generative AI Model Configuration table so that your AI Search RAG application can use it to generate embeddings for semantic indexing. This setup ensures the model is recognized and properly connected to send and receive requests.")
3. [Set a provider for embedding model](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/RbWpxZ~GTkdrYsIT0zRfFQ "Determine which AI provider to use for your embedding model to work in the AI Search RAG application.")
4. [Connect your custom embedding model with Generative AI](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Ix1t9CEtq8uK1K3HhA9w3A "Integrate a capability definition with your custom embedding model.")
5. [Enable the custom embedding model for semantic indexing](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/ctJf6Spd~rkfnOld0Hi0Fg "Add your newly created embedding model in the semantic indexing table.")
6. [Configure semantic indexing settings for an indexed source](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/d_wOxuJAVE0zNW6TlKPNyQ "Specify the semantic indexing configuration settings you want to apply when AI Search indexes records from your indexed sources.")
