Overview

What is RAG?

Provides abstract RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) interfaces and shared implementations to help developers build retrieval-augmented generation applications efficiently.

Key differentiator

Provides a flexible, open-source framework for RAG implementations, allowing developers to quickly integrate retrieval-augmented generation into their projects without the need for extensive customization from scratch.
