BriefGPT
Locally hosted tool that connects documents to LLMs for summarization and querying, with a simple GUI.
I just came across this project which seems to be aiming at streamlining exactly that :

RAG is very difficult to do right. I am experimenting with various RAG projects from [1]. The main problems are:
- Chunking can interfer with context boundaries
- Content vectors can differ vastly from question vectors, for this you have to use hypothetical embeddings (they generate artificial questions and store them)
- Instead of saving just one embedding per text-chuck you should store various (text chunk, hypothetical embedding questions, meta data)
- RAG will miserably fail with requests like "summarize the whole document"
- to my knowledge, openAI embeddings aren't performing well, use a embedding that is optimized for question answering or information retrieval and supports multi language. Also look into instructor embeddings: https://github.com/embeddings-benchmark/mteb

Marqo provides automatic, configurable chunking (for example with overlap) and can allow you to bring your own model or choose from a wide range of opensource models. I think e5-large would be a good one to try. https://github.com/marqo-ai/marqo
Very cool. I was planning on working on something very similar myself for a hackathon I attended but my team basically ran out of time (https://github.com/anshumankmr/jovian-genai-hackathon)
