KOTAEMON

Open-source RAG UI for chatting with your documents

Apache-2.0

ABOUT

Most RAG solutions force a choice between black-box SaaS products that expose your data to third parties, or raw frameworks that require extensive coding to get a usable interface. Kotaemon bridges this gap by providing a fully functional, self-hosted RAG web UI out of the box, with support for multiple LLM and embedding providers, hybrid retrieval, multi-user collections, and advanced citation viewing. It gives teams a private, customizable document QA system without months of frontend and pipeline engineering.

INSTALL
docker run -e GRADIO_SERVER_NAME=0.0.0.0 -e GRADIO_SERVER_PORT=7860 -v ./ktem_app_data:/app/ktem_app_data -p 7860:7860 -it --rm ghcr.io/cinnamon/kotaemon:main-full
