About quivr
Quivr is an open-source RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) framework that abstracts away infrastructure complexity for integrating LLMs into applications. It supports multiple LLM providers (GPT-4, Groq, Llama), vector stores (PGVector, Faiss), and file types, allowing developers to focus on product logic rather than RAG plumbing.
Best for
Python developers building LLM-augmented features who want to avoid RAG infrastructure decisions and vendor lock-in.
Use cases
- Adding semantic search and chat to existing Python applications
- Building document-based Q&A systems with flexible LLM backends
- Prototyping multi-source knowledge retrieval without vendor lock-in
