Today we’re releasing ragbits v1.0.0 along with a brand new CLI template: create-ragbits-app — a project starter to go from zero to a fully working RAG application.
RAGs are everywhere now. You can roll your own, glue together SDKs, or buy into a SaaS black box. We’ve tried all of these — and still felt something was missing: standardization without losing flexibility.
So we built ragbits — a modular, type-safe, open-source toolkit for building GenAI apps. It’s battle-tested in 7+ real-world projects, and it lets us deliver value to clients in hours.
And now, with create-ragbits-app, getting started is dead simple:
uvx create-ragbits-app
Pick your vector DB (Qdrant and pgvector templates ready — Chroma supported, Weaviate coming soon)
Plug in any LLM (OpenAI wired in, swap out with anything via LiteLLM)
Parse docs with either Unstructured or Docling
Optional add-ons:
- Hybrid search (fastembed sparse vectors)
- Image enrichment (multimodal LLM support)
- Observability stack (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Tempo)
Comes with a clean React UI, ready for customization
Whether you're prototyping or scaling, this stack is built to grow with you — with real tooling, not just examples.
