All-in-one solution for search, recommendations, and RAG

Quick Links

• API Reference + Docs
• OpenAPI specification
• Typescript SDK
• Python SDK

Features

• 🔒 Self-Hosting in your VPC or on-prem: We have full self-hosting guides for AWS, GCP, Kubernetes generally, and docker compose available on our documentation page here.
• 🧠 Semantic Dense Vector Search: Integrates with OpenAI or Jina embedding models and Qdrant to provide semantic vector search.
• 🔍 Typo Tolerant Full-Text/Neural Search: Every uploaded chunk is vector'ized with naver/efficient-splade-VI-BT-large-query for typo tolerant, quality neural sparse-vector search.
• 🖊️ Sub-Sentence Highlighting: Highlight the matching words or sentences within a chunk and bold them on search to enhance UX for your users. Shout out to the simsearch crate!
• 🌟 Recommendations: Find similar chunks (or files if using grouping) with the recommendation API. Very helpful if you have a platform where users' favorite, bookmark, or upvote content.
• 🤖 Convenient RAG API Routes: We integrate with OpenRouter to provide you with access to any LLM you would like for RAG. Try our routes for fully-managed RAG with topic-based memory management or select your own context RAG.
• 💼 Bring Your Own Models: If you'd like, you can bring your own text-embedding, SPLADE, cross-encoder re-ranking, and/or large-language model (LLM) and plug it into our infrastructure.
• 🔄 Hybrid Search with cross-encoder re-ranking: For the best results, use hybrid search with BAAI/bge-reranker-large re-rank optimization.
• 📆 Recency Biasing: Easily bias search results for what was most recent to prevent staleness
• 🛠️ Tunable Merchandizing: Adjust relevance using signals like clicks, add-to-carts, or citations
• 🕳️ Filtering: Date-range, substring match, tag, numeric, and other filter types are supported.
• 👥 Grouping: Mark multiple chunks as being part of the same file and search on the file-level such that the same top-level result never appears twice

Local development with Linux

Debian/Ubuntu Packages needed packages

sudo apt install curl \
gcc \
g++ \
make \
pkg-config \
python3 \
python3-pip \
libpq-dev \
libssl-dev \
openssl

Arch Packages needed

sudo pacman -S base-devel postgresql-libs

Install NodeJS and Yarn

You can install NVM using its install script.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.5/install.sh | bash

You should restart the terminal to update bash profile with NVM. Then, you can install NodeJS LTS release and Yarn.

nvm install --lts
npm install -g yarn

Make server tmp dir

mkdir server/tmp

Install rust

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Install cargo-watch

cargo install cargo-watch

Setup env's

cp .env.analytics ./frontends/analytics/.env
cp .env.chat ./frontends/chat/.env
cp .env.search ./frontends/search/.env
cp .env.server ./server/.env
cp .env.dashboard ./frontends/dashboard/.env

Add your LLM_API_KEY to ./server/.env

Here is a guide for acquiring that.

Steps once you have the key

1. Open the ./server/.env file
2. Replace the value for LLM_API_KEY to be your own OpenAI API key.
3. Replace the value for OPENAI_API_KEY to be your own OpenAI API key.

Start docker container services needed for local dev

cat .env.chat .env.search .env.server .env.docker-compose > .env

./convenience.sh -l

Start services for local dev

We recommend managing this through tmuxp, see the guide here or terminal tabs.

cd clients/ts-sdk
yarn build

cd frontends
yarn
yarn dev

cd server
cargo watch -x run

cd server
cargo run --bin ingestion-worker

cd server
cargo run --bin file-worker

cd server
cargo run --bin delete-worker

cd search
yarn
yarn dev

Verify Working Setup

• check that you can see redoc with the OpenAPI reference at localhost:8090/redoc
• make an account create a dataset with test data at localhost:5173
• search that dataset with test data at localhost:5174

Debugging issues with local dev

Reach out to us on discord for assistance. We are available and more than happy to assist.

Debug diesel by getting the exact generated SQL

diesel::debug_query(&query).to_string();

Local Setup for Testing Stripe Features

Install Stripe CLI.

1. stripe login
2. stripe listen --forward-to localhost:8090/api/stripe/webhook
3. set the STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET in the server/.env to the resulting webhook signing secret
4. stripe products create --name trieve --default-price-data.unit-amount 1200 --default-price-data.currency usd
5. stripe plans create --amount=1200 --currency=usd --interval=month --product={id from response of step 3}
