# haiku.rag
`haiku.rag` is a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) library built to work on SQLite alone without the need for external vector databases. It uses [sqlite-vec](https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-vec) for storing the embeddings and performs semantic (vector) search as well as full-text search combined through Reciprocal Rank Fusion. Both open-source (Ollama, MixedBread AI) as well as commercial (OpenAI, VoyageAI) embedding providers are supported.
## Features
- **Local SQLite**: No need to run additional servers
- **Support for various embedding providers**: Ollama, VoyageAI, OpenAI or add your own
- **Hybrid Search**: Vector search using `sqlite-vec` combined with full-text search `FTS5`, using Reciprocal Rank Fusion
- **Reranking**: Optional result reranking with MixedBread AI or Cohere
- **Question Answering**: Built-in QA agents using Ollama, OpenAI, or Anthropic.
- **File monitoring**: Automatically index files when run as a server
- **Extended file format support**: Parse 40+ file formats including PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, audio and more. Or add a URL!
- **MCP server**: Exposes functionality as MCP tools
- **CLI commands**: Access all functionality from your terminal
- **Python client**: Call `haiku.rag` from your own python applications
## Quick Start
Install haiku.rag:
```bash
uv pip install haiku.rag
```
Use from Python:
```python
from haiku.rag.client import HaikuRAG
async with HaikuRAG("database.db") as client:
# Add a document
doc = await client.create_document("Your content here")
# Search documents
results = await client.search("query")
# Ask questions
answer = await client.ask("Who is the author of haiku.rag?", rerank=False)
```
Or use the CLI:
```bash
haiku-rag add "Your document content"
haiku-rag search "query"
haiku-rag ask "Who is the author of haiku.rag?"
```
