What is LongTrainer?

LongTrainer is a production-ready RAG framework that turns your documents into intelligent, multi-tenant chatbots — with 5 lines of code.

Built on top of LangChain, LongTrainer handles the hard parts that every production RAG system needs: multi-bot isolation, persistent MongoDB memory, FAISS vector search, streaming responses, custom tool calling, chat encryption, and vision support — so you don't have to wire them together yourself.

Why LongTrainer over raw LangChain / LlamaIndex?

Problem	LangChain / LlamaIndex	LongTrainer
Multi-bot management	DIY — manage state per bot	Built-in: initialize_bot_id() → isolated bots
Persistent chat memory	Wire MongoDB/Redis yourself	Built-in: MongoDB-backed, encrypted, restorable
Document ingestion	Assemble loaders + splitters	One-liner: add_document_from_path(path, bot_id)
Streaming responses	Implement astream yourself	get_response(stream=True) yields chunks
Custom tool calling	Define tools, build agent	add_tool(my_tool) — plug and play
Web search augmentation	Find and integrate search	Built-in toggle: web_search=True
Vision chat	Complex multi-modal setup	get_vision_response() — pass images
Self-improving from chats	Not a concept	train_chats() feeds Q&A back into KB
Encryption at rest	DIY	encrypt_chats=True — Fernet out of the box

Quick Start 🚀

1. Zero-Code CLI & API Server (New in 1.2.3!)

Manage bots, chat, and run a production API directly from your terminal—no Python required.

A. Interactive Terminal Chat

# 1. Initialize a new project and generate longtrainer.yaml
longtrainer init

# 2. Create a new bot
longtrainer bot create --prompt "You are a helpful assistant."

# 3. Add a document (PDF, link, etc.)
longtrainer add-doc <bot_id> /path/to/document.pdf

# 4. Start chatting!
longtrainer chat <bot_id>

B. FastAPI REST Server

Start a production-ready API server backed by your LongTrainer bots:

longtrainer serve

This starts a FastAPI server running on http://localhost:8000 with 18 REST endpoints, including:

• /health
• /bots (CRUD)
• /bots/{id}/documents/path (Ingest files)
• /bots/{id}/chats (Create sessions)
• /bots/{id}/chats/{chat_id} (Chat and Streaming)

Visit http://localhost:8000/docs to see the auto-generated Swagger UI and test the API directly!

2. Python SDK — Default RAG Mode

from longtrainer.trainer import LongTrainer
import os

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-..."

# Initialize
trainer = LongTrainer(mongo_endpoint="mongodb://localhost:27017/")
bot_id = trainer.initialize_bot_id()

# Add documents (PDF, DOCX, CSV, HTML, MD, TXT, URLs, YouTube, Wikipedia)
trainer.add_document_from_path("path/to/your/data.pdf", bot_id)

# Create bot and start chatting
trainer.create_bot(bot_id)
chat_id = trainer.new_chat(bot_id)

# Get response
answer, sources = trainer.get_response("What is this document about?", bot_id, chat_id)
print(answer)

Streaming Responses

# Stream tokens in real-time
for chunk in trainer.get_response("Summarize the key points", bot_id, chat_id, stream=True):
    print(chunk, end="", flush=True)

Async Streaming

async for chunk in trainer.aget_response("Explain the methodology", bot_id, chat_id):
    print(chunk, end="", flush=True)

AgentBot automatically routes questions to tools like web search when necessary.

🌟 NEW: Dynamic ZERO CODE Tools

LongTrainer V2 now integrates LangChain's massive dynamic tool ecosystem natively:

trainer.create_bot(
    "agent-id", 
    agent_mode=True, 
    tools=["tavily_search_results_json", "wikipedia", "arxiv", "PythonREPLTool", "yahoo_finance_news"]
)

LongTrainer will dynamically import and initialize ANY string-based tool from langchain.agents.load_tools natively on the backend!

You may still register custom tools globally or per-bot explicitly:

from langchain.tools import tool

@tool
def get_weather(location: str):

Agent Mode — With Custom Tools

from longtrainer.tools import web_search
from langchain_core.tools import tool

# Add built-in web search tool
trainer.add_tool(web_search, bot_id)

# Add your own custom tool
@tool
def calculate(expression: str) -> str:
    """Evaluate a math expression."""
    return str(eval(expression))

trainer.add_tool(calculate, bot_id)

# Create bot in agent mode
trainer.create_bot(bot_id, agent_mode=True)
chat_id = trainer.new_chat(bot_id)

response, _ = trainer.get_response("What is 42 * 17?", bot_id, chat_id)
print(response)

Vision Chat

vision_id = trainer.new_vision_chat(bot_id)
response, sources = trainer.get_vision_response(
    "Describe what you see in this image",
    image_paths=["photo.jpg"],
    bot_id=bot_id,
    vision_chat_id=vision_id,
)
print(response)

Per-Bot Customization

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI, OpenAIEmbeddings

# Each bot can have its own LLM, embeddings, and retrieval config
trainer.create_bot(
    bot_id,
    llm=ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini", temperature=0.2),
    embedding_model=OpenAIEmbeddings(model="text-embedding-3-small"),
    num_k=5,                    # retrieve 5 docs per query
    prompt_template="You are a helpful legal assistant. {context}",
    agent_mode=True,            # enable tool calling
    tools=[web_search],
)

Migration from 0.3.4

LongTrainer 1.0.0 is a major upgrade with breaking changes:

0.3.4	1.0.0
ConversationalRetrievalChain	LCEL chain (RAGBot) or LangGraph agent (AgentBot)
requirements.txt + setup.py	pyproject.toml (UV/pip compatible)
No streaming	stream=True or aget_response()
No tool calling	add_tool() + agent_mode=True
langchain.memory	langchain_core.chat_history
Fixed LLM for all bots	Per-bot LLM, embeddings, and config

Upgrade path:

pip install --upgrade longtrainer

The core API (initialize_bot_id, create_bot, new_chat, get_response) remains the same — existing code should work with minimal changes. The main difference is get_response() now returns (answer, sources) instead of (answer, sources, web_sources).
