Hey guys,

Have anyone tried using StringKnowledgeSource with Gemini? Looks like there is a bug, although Gemni model is configured correctly, KnowledgeSource is always trying to create default embedder and it looks for OpenAI keys and it fails.

```auto
../../.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/crewai/project/crew_base.py:26: in __init__
    super(). __init__ (*args, **kwargs)
hr_slack_bot/crew.py:46: in __init__
    self.string_source = StringKnowledgeSource(
../../.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/crewai/knowledge/storage/knowledge_storage.py:51: in __init__
    self._set_embedder_config(embedder_config)
../../.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/crewai/knowledge/storage/knowledge_storage.py:174: in _set_embedder_config
    else self._create_default_embedding_function()
../../.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/crewai/knowledge/storage/knowledge_storage.py:158: in _create_default_embedding_function
    return OpenAIEmbeddingFunction(

```

Any solution / work arround is welcome.

Thanks.

@subbu It’s not a bug. CrewAI uses the OpenAI embedding LLM by default, and that’s why the code searched for the OpenAI API key that couldn’t be found. However, you can customize the embedding LLM to your liking by configuring the embedder for the knowledge store. See the [docs](https://docs.crewai.com/concepts/knowledge#embedder-configuration).

```
# ...

string_source = StringKnowledgeSource(
    content="Users name is John. He is 30 years old and lives in San Francisco.",
)

crew = Crew(
    ...,
    knowledge_sources=[string_source],
    embedder={
        "provider": "openai", # Set the embedding LLM provider here
        "config": {"model": "text-embedding-3-small"}, # Set the embedding LLM here
    },
)

# ...

```

Thanks for the quick reply @rokbenko . Actually I wanted to use the google embedder.

My code looks like this:

```auto
 crew = Crew(
            ....,
            verbose=True,
            knowledge_sources=[self.string_source],
            embedder={
                "provider": "google",
                "config": {"model": "models/embedding-001"},
            },
        )

```

For this code, I’m getting this error

```auto
File "./.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/crewai/project/crew_base.py", line 26, in __init__
super(). __init__ (*args, **kwargs)

    ValueError: Please provide an OpenAI API key. You can get one at https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys

```

What I suspect is irrespective of the provider passed, knowledge store is always trying to create default embedder.

Can you try with above embedder config, and let me know your results pls?

I am having the same issue. Using the code from the guide in the documentation throws the ValueError if I use any other embedded other than open-ai.

Not sure how the issue got closed without any fix.

No. I’m not part of CrewAI staff. I pinged them that the issue hasn’t been solved, but there has been no response so far.

I did some more digging.  
CrewAI uses `embedchain.ai` under the covers for all embedding.  
In my case (AWS Bedrock), assigning the embedding to an Agent works when configuring it according to `embedchain.ai`. The provider’s name is `aws_bedrock`, not `bedrock` (as per the CrewAI docs).

So, the following code works for me.

```python

from crewai import Agent, Crew, Process, Task
from crewai.knowledge.source.string_knowledge_source import StringKnowledgeSource
from crewai.project import CrewBase, agent, crew, task

@CrewBase
class Red01():
	"""Red01 crew"""
	agents_config = 'config/agents.yaml'
	tasks_config = 'config/tasks.yaml'

	@agent
	def researcher(self) -> Agent:

		content = "Users name is freddy12. He is 32 years old and lives in Lincon,UK."
		string_source = StringKnowledgeSource(
			content=content,
			metadata={"source": "user"},
		)
		return Agent(
			config=self.agents_config['researcher'],
			verbose=True,
			knowledge_sources=[string_source],
			embedder={
				"provider": "aws_bedrock",
				"config": {"model": "amazon.titan-embed-text-v2:0"},
			},
		)

	@task
	def research_task(self) -> Task:
		return Task(
			config=self.tasks_config['research_task'],
		)

	@crew
	def crew(self) -> Crew:
		"""Creates the Red01 crew"""

		content = "Users name is freddy12. He is 32 years old and lives in Lincon,UK."
		string_source = StringKnowledgeSource(
			content=content,
			metadata={"source": "user"},
		)	
			
		return Crew(
			agents=self.agents,
