# Getting Started: Embeddings

:::info
[Conceptual Guide](https://python.langchain.com/docs/modules/data_connection/text_embedding)
:::

Embeddings can be used to create a numerical representation of textual data. This numerical representation is useful because it can be used to find similar documents.

## Example
<CodeBlock language="go">{Example}</CodeBlock>

## Dig deeper

<DocCardList />
