Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when a project needs a web-facing, self-hosted workflow that connects its own documents to retrieval and language-model responses.

Who it is for

  • Teams building internal documentation assistants
  • Developers prototyping document-grounded customer support
  • Researchers organizing archives for retrieval-based questions
  • Operators seeking a self-hosted RAG interface

Documented uses

  • Import and manage knowledge-base documents
  • Process documents into embeddings and vector storage
  • Retrieve relevant passages for user questions
  • Generate answers with cloud or local language models
  • Expose knowledge-base access through OpenAPI
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is publicly visible, described as open source, and licensed under Apache-2.0. It is identified for web and self-hosted use.

  • Supported source formats include PDF, DOCX, Markdown and text.
  • Model options referenced include OpenAI, DeepSeek, MiniMax and local Ollama deployment.
  • ChromaDB and Qdrant are documented vector-database options.
  • The project includes asynchronous processing with job-status tracking.
  • OpenAPI access is documented for knowledge-base integration.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Prepare a document-ingestion workflow

Import supported documents and process them into a searchable knowledge base.

Before you start

  • Rag Web UI repository
  • A PDF, DOCX, Markdown or text document
  • An embedding service and a supported vector database

Steps

  1. Submit the document through the documented document-input flow.

  2. Receive the returned job ID.

  3. Allow the asynchronous preprocessing, text splitting and embedding stages to run.

  4. Check the job status until it reports processing, completed or failed.

  5. Use the resulting vector-store content for retrieval.

Expected outcome

The document is processed into vectorized content that can be used by the retrieval workflow.

Guide limitations

  • The evidence documents the processing stages but does not specify installation commands, configuration values or deployment steps.
