Quiver

Overview

Quiver is a Python framework for building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems that abstracts away infrastructure complexity. It supports any LLM (GPT-4, Groq, Llama), any vector store (PGVector, Faiss), and any file type, letting you focus on application logic rather than RAG plumbing.

Best for

Best for
Python developers building RAG features into existing applications who want to avoid vendor lock-in and infrastructure boilerplate.

Use cases

• Integrate RAG into existing Python applications without rewriting core logic
• Swap LLMs or vector stores without changing application code
• Build document-grounded chatbots or Q&A systems with minimal boilerplate
