   # Edit .env to customize provider/model or add API keys
   

   See haiku.rag configuration docs for provider setup.

3. Prepare your knowledge base

   Create and populate a haiku.rag database:

   # Create a data directory
   mkdir -p data
   # Add documents (requires haiku-rag installed locally)
   haiku-rag add "Your documents here" --db data/haiku_rag.lancedb
   # Or add from files
   haiku-rag add-src document.pdf --db data/haiku_rag.lancedb
