raggy: A Lightweight CLI Tool for Fully Local RAG Over Your Documents
paulknysh · reddit · 2026-09-10
Developer paulknysh released raggy, a lightweight CLI tool for retrieval-augmented generation over local documents, built on LangChain, Chroma, and Ollama.
- Hybrid retrieval: combines a vector index with a BM25 index for better recall
- Fully local: the vector database and embedding generation run entirely on your machine, privacy-friendly by default
- Flexible generation: answers can come from a local LLM or a remote API
- Format support: handles common document formats and automatically OCRs images and scans
A practical starting point for anyone building a private, local-first knowledge base.
