Local RAG framework for building intelligent knowledge bases

Project description

SolveDesk AI [https://solvedesk-ai.netlify.app/]

Intelligent knowledge base powered by embeddings, vector search and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

Overview

SolveDesk AI is a lightweight open-source framework for building local intelligent knowledge bases. The project provides a command-line interface for creating vector databases, importing documents, generating embeddings, performing semantic search, and integrating with local Large Language Models (LLMs).

Inspired by frameworks such as Laravel and Django, SolveDesk AI simplifies the process of building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems by providing ready-to-use commands and a modular architecture.

The framework can be used both as a production-ready knowledge base solution and as an educational platform for learning modern AI technologies, vector databases, embeddings, and semantic retrieval.


Features

  • Local knowledge base creation
  • Semantic document search
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
  • Vector database management

  • Local LLM integration through Ollama
  • Data synchronization from APIs
  • CSV, JSON and XLSX import support
  • Embedding quality analysis
  • Document chunking
  • FastAPI integration
  • Command-line interface

Data Synchronization

Remember to prepare data source! Example:

ticketId,ticketName,ticketBody,ticketAnswer
1,Problem z logowaniem,Użytkownik nie może zalogować się do systemu po zmianie hasła.,Należy wyczyścić cache przeglądarki i ponownie ustawić hasło.
2,Błąd płatności,System zwraca błąd 500 podczas finalizacji płatności.,Zweryfikowano integrację z operatorem płatności i zrestartowano usługę.
3,Timeout API,Zapytania do API trwają bardzo długo w godzinach szczytu.,Dodano cache Redis oraz zwiększono liczbę workerów aplikacji.
4,Nieprawidłowe dane,Raport sprzedaży pokazuje błędne wartości dla części zamówień.,Naprawiono mapowanie danych w procesie ETL.
5,Brak powiadomień email,Klienci nie otrzymują wiadomości potwierdzających rejestrację.,Skonfigurowano poprawnie serwer SMTP i kolejkę wiadomości.

(venv) C:\path\to\project> solvedesk sync file "tickets.csv" test133
