TextAI
Free💡 All-in-one open-source embeddings database for semantic search, LLM orchestration and language model workflows. 
About TextAI
txtai is an all-in-one AI framework for semantic search, LLM orchestration, and language model workflows. Its core is an embeddings database that unifies vector indexes (sparse and dense), graph networks, and relational databases, enabling vector search and serving as a knowledge source for LLM applications. The framework supports building autonomous agents, retrieval augmented generation (RAG) processes, and multi-model workflows. Key capabilities include vector search with SQL, object storage, topic modeling, graph analysis, and multimodal indexing; creating embeddings for text, documents, audio, images, and video; pipelines for LLM prompts, question-answering, labeling, transcription, translation, summarization, and more; workflows to join pipelines; agents that connect embeddings, pipelines, and other agents; and Web and Model Context Protocol (MCP) APIs. It is built with Python 3.10+, Hugging Face Transformers, Sentence Transformers, and FastAPI, and is open-source under Apache 2.0.
