docs: templates updated titles (#25646)
Updated titles into a consistent format. 
Fixed links to the diagrams.
Fixed typos.
Note: The Templates menu in the navbar is now sorted by the file names.
I'll try sorting the navbar menus by the page titles, not the page file
names.

# RAG - Redis - multi-modal, multi-vector
`Multi-modal` LLMs enable visual assistants that can perform question-answering about images.
This template create a visual assistant for slide decks, which often contain visuals such as graphs or figures.
It uses `GPT-4V` to create image summaries for each slide, embeds the summaries, and stores them in `Redis`.
Given a question, relevant slides are retrieved and passed to GPT-4V for answer synthesis.

## Input
Supply a slide deck as PDF in the `/docs` directory.
By default, this template has a slide deck about recent earnings from NVIDIA.
Example questions to ask can be:
```
1/ how much can H100 TensorRT improve LLama2 inference performance?
2/ what is the % change in GPU accelerated applications from 2020 to 2023?
```
To create an index of the slide deck, run:
```
poetry install
poetry shell
python ingest.py
```
## Storage
Here is the process the template will use to create an index of the slides (see [blog](https://blog.langchain.dev/multi-modal-rag-template/)):
* Extract the slides as a collection of images
* Use GPT-4V to summarize each image
* Embed the image summaries using text embeddings with a link to the original images
* Retrieve relevant image based on similarity between the image summary and the user input question
* Pass those images to GPT-4V for answer synthesis
### Redis
This template uses [Redis](https://redis.com) to power the [MultiVectorRetriever](https://python.langchain.com/docs/modules/data_connection/retrievers/multi_vector) including:
- Redis as the [VectorStore](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/vectorstores/redis) (to store + index image summary embeddings)
- Redis as the [ByteStore](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/stores/redis) (to store images)
Make sure to deploy a Redis instance either in the [cloud](https://redis.com/try-free) (free) or locally with [docker](https://redis.io/docs/install/install-stack/docker/).
This will give you an accessible Redis endpoint that you can use as a URL. If deploying locally, simply use `redis://localhost:6379`.
## LLM
The app will retrieve images based on similarity between the text input and the image summary (text), and pass the images to GPT-4V for answer synthesis.
## Environment Setup
Set the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable to access the OpenAI GPT-4V.
Set `REDIS_URL` environment variable to access your Redis database.
## Usage
To use this package, you should first have the LangChain CLI installed:
```shell
pip install -U langchain-cli
```
To create a new LangChain project and install this as the only package, you can do:
```shell
langchain app new my-app --package rag-redis-multi-modal-multi-vector
```
If you want to add this to an existing project, you can just run:
```shell
langchain app add rag-redis-multi-modal-multi-vector
```
And add the following code to your `server.py` file:
```python
from rag_redis_multi_modal_multi_vector import chain as rag_redis_multi_modal_chain_mv
add_routes(app, rag_redis_multi_modal_chain_mv, path="/rag-redis-multi-modal-multi-vector")
```
(Optional) Let's now configure LangSmith.
LangSmith will help us trace, monitor and debug LangChain applications.
You can sign up for LangSmith [here](https://smith.langchain.com/).
If you don't have access, you can skip this section
```shell
export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true
export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
export LANGCHAIN_PROJECT=<your-project> # if not specified, defaults to "default"
```
If you are inside this directory, then you can spin up a LangServe instance directly by:
```shell
langchain serve
```
This will start the FastAPI app with a server is running locally at
[http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)
We can see all templates at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs](http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs)
We can access the playground at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/rag-redis-multi-modal-multi-vector/playground](http://127.0.0.1:8000/rag-redis-multi-modal-multi-vector/playground)
We can access the template from code with:
```python
from langserve.client import RemoteRunnable
runnable = RemoteRunnable("http://localhost:8000/rag-redis-multi-modal-multi-vector")
```
