# Haiku RAG [![Tests](https://github.com/ggozad/haiku.rag/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/ggozad/haiku.rag/actions/workflows/test.yml) [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/ggozad/haiku.rag/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/ggozad/haiku.rag) Agentic RAG built on [LanceDB](https://lancedb.com/), [Pydantic AI](https://ai.pydantic.dev/), and [Docling](https://docling-project.github.io/docling/). > **New: vision and multimodal search.** Picture-aware ingestion captures embedded figure bytes; vision-capable QA models receive them alongside text. Multimodal embedders put picture vectors in the same space as text, enabling text-as-query → figure hits and image-as-query retrieval. ## Features - **Hybrid search** — Vector + full-text with Reciprocal Rank Fusion - **Multimodal & cross-modal search** — Multimodal embedders (vLLM) put picture vectors in the same space as text; supports text-as-query → figure hits and image-as-query - **Question answering** — RAG skill with citations (page numbers, section headings) - **Vision QA** — Vision-capable models receive figure bytes alongside chunk text - **Reranking** — MxBAI, Cohere, Zero Entropy, or vLLM - **Analysis skill** — Complex analytical tasks via sandboxed Python code execution (aggregation, computation, multi-document analysis) - **Conversational RAG** — Chat TUI and web application for multi-turn conversations with session memory - **Document structure** — Stores full [DoclingDocument](https://docling-project.github.io/docling/concepts/docling_document/), enabling structure-aware context expansion - **Multiple providers** — Embeddings: Ollama, OpenAI, VoyageAI, LM Studio, vLLM (multimodal). QA: any model supported by Pydantic AI - **Local-first** — Embedded LanceDB, no servers required. Also supports S3, GCS, Azure, and LanceDB Cloud - **CLI & Python API** — Full functionality from command line or code - **MCP server** — Expose as tools for AI assistants (Claude Desktop, etc.) - **Visual grounding** — View chunks highlighted on original page images - **Production ingester** — Long-lived `haiku-ingester` service with persistent SQLite queue, async worker pool with retries and a dead-letter queue, FS / HTTP / S3 / WebDAV source adapters, and a FastAPI control plane. See [docs/ingester.md](docs/ingester.md). - **Time travel** — Query the database at any historical point with `--before` - **Inspector** — TUI for browsing documents, chunks, and search results ## Installation **Python 3.12 or newer required** ### Full Package (Recommended) ```bash pip install haiku.rag ``` Includes all features: document processing, all embedding providers, and rerankers. Using [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)? `uv pip install haiku.rag` ### Slim Package (Minimal Dependencies) ```bash pip install haiku.rag-slim ``` Install only the extras you need. See the [Installation](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/installation/) documentation for available options. ## Quick Start > **Note**: Requires an embedding provider (Ollama, OpenAI, etc.). See the [Tutorial](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/tutorial/) for setup instructions. ```bash # Index a PDF haiku-rag add-src paper.pdf # Search haiku-rag search "attention mechanism" # Ask questions with citations haiku-rag ask "What datasets were used for evaluation?" --cite # Analyze — complex analytical tasks via code execution haiku-rag analyze "How many documents mention transformers?" # Interactive chat — multi-turn conversations with memory haiku-rag chat # Continuously ingest from configured sources (FS, HTTP, S3, WebDAV) haiku-ingester serve ``` See [Configuration](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/configuration/) for customization options. ## Python API ```python from haiku.rag.client import HaikuRAG async with HaikuRAG("knowledge.lancedb", create=True) as rag: # Index documents await rag.create_document_from_source("paper.pdf") await rag.create_document_from_source("https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.03762") # Search — returns chunks with provenance results = await rag.search("self-attention") for result in results: print(f"{result.score:.2f} | p.{result.page_numbers} | {result.content[:100]}") # QA with citations answer, citations = await rag.ask("What is the complexity of self-attention?") print(answer) for cite in citations: print(f" [{cite.chunk_id}] p.{cite.page_numbers}: {cite.content[:80]}") ``` For details on the skills the client wraps, see the [Skills docs](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/skills/). ## MCP Server Use with AI assistants like Claude Desktop: ```bash haiku-rag mcp --stdio ``` Add to your Claude Desktop configuration: ```json { "mcpServers": { "haiku-rag": { "command": "haiku-rag", "args": ["mcp", "--stdio"] } } } ``` Provides tools for document management, search, QA, and analysis directly in your AI assistant. ## Examples See the [examples directory](examples/) for working examples: - **[Docker Setup](examples/docker/)** - Complete Docker deployment with continuous ingestion (`haiku-ingester`) and MCP server - **[Web Application](app/)** - Full-stack conversational RAG with CopilotKit frontend ## Documentation Full documentation at: https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/ - [Installation](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/installation/) - Provider setup - [Configuration](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/configuration/) - YAML configuration - [CLI](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/cli/) - Command reference - [Python API](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/python/) - Complete API docs - [Skills](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/skills/) - The RAG and analysis skills the client wraps - [Analysis skill](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/skills/analysis/) - Complex analytical tasks via code execution - [Applications](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/apps/) - Chat TUI, web app, and inspector - [Ingester](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/ingester/) - Production ingester service for continuous indexing from FS, HTTP, S3, and WebDAV - [MCP](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/mcp/) - Model Context Protocol integration - [Benchmarks](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/benchmarks/) - Performance benchmarks - [Changelog](https://ggozad.github.io/haiku.rag/changelog/) - Version history ## License This project is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE). mcp-name: io.github.ggozad/haiku-rag
