Rag Knowledge Engine

RAG Knowledge Engine is a document question-answering application that accepts PDFs and text files, searches their contents for relevant passages, and uses OpenAI GPT-4o to generate answers grounded in the retrieved material. It uses LangChain for its AI workflow and ChromaDB to store document text for vector search.
