Quivr

AI knowledge management platform for organizing, searching, and retrieving information.

Our take: It gives developers an opinionated, ready-made RAG stack (ingestion, retrieval, any LLM, any vector store) so they can ship document-chat features without building the plumbing.

The bottom line

A fast way for developers to add RAG/document-chat to a product without reinventing the stack; self-host free or pay for hosted.

What it really isAn open-source 'second brain' / RAG platform for building GenAI apps over your own documents - free to self-host, with a paid hosted option.
Our takeIt gives developers an opinionated, ready-made RAG stack (ingestion, retrieval, any LLM, any vector store) so they can ship document-chat features without building the plumbing.
It is Apache-2.0 and self-hostable; the trade-off is that 'opinionated' means less low-level control, and you still bring your own LLM and infrastructure.

Best / not good for

Best for
  • Developers adding document-chat/RAG to their products
  • Teams wanting a self-hostable, private RAG over internal data
  • Projects that want a ready RAG stack rather than building from scratch
Not good for
  • Non-developers wanting a finished consumer app
  • Teams needing fine-grained control over every RAG component
  • Users unwilling to supply their own LLM keys and infrastructure
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Developer setup: install quivr-core (or run the full stack via Docker), wire an LLM and a vector store, then ingest files.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    It is the RAG layer only - LLM token costs, vector-store hosting and infrastructure scale (and bill) separately as usage grows.
  3. Walled garden
    Low lock-in for the open-source core - Apache 2.0, self-hostable, with bring-your-own LLM and vector store.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
