The idea behind the build.

Static documentation and company knowledge bases are hard to navigate. Standard LLMs hallucinate or lack private organizational context. Teams need a dependable way to ingest unstructured docs, retrieve relevant organizational context, and seamlessly embed this intelligence into external websites or apps.

What I brought to it.

Architect & Lead Builder. Designed the ingestion and chunking pipeline, configured vector storage and hybrid retrieval scoring, implemented prompt guardrails, and built the rate-limited public API layer.

The system

An end-to-end document intelligence platform that parses PDFs, markdown, and text, applies semantic chunking, generates high-dimensional embeddings, stores vectors for hybrid similarity search, and augments LLM prompts with strict citations—packaged with a developer-friendly public REST API.

The interesting challenge

Chunking strategy and retrieval noise. If chunks are too small, context is lost; if too big, the context window fills with irrelevant text. Balancing semantic boundary splitting with metadata preservation so the LLM cites exact clauses.

Under the hood
  • Document parser supporting PDF, TXT, DOCX, and Markdown
  • Semantic chunker with overlapping sliding windows and section hierarchy
  • Vector search integration using high-dimensional embeddings with cosine similarity
  • Context-stitching engine injecting verified snippets into structured prompts
  • Public developer API with API key authentication, rate limits, and usage analytics
What shipped
  • Robust single-tenant document ingestion pipeline with status tracking
  • Semantic vector retrieval engine with citation links
  • Public REST API with interactive documentation for third-party embeds
  • Admin telemetry dashboard tracking token usage, latency, and query accuracy
