[![UV](https://img.shields.io/badge/UV-0.4.18-brightgreen)](https://astral.sh/uv)

A production-ready **Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)** system that works with **any PDF documents** - not limited to any specific domain.

## 🚀 Features

[![Pinecone](https://img.shields.io/badge/-Vector_DB-orange)](https://pinecone.io)
[![RAGAS](https://img.shields.io/badge/-Eval_Framework-purple)](https://github.com/explodinggradients/ragas)

- **Full RAG Pipeline**: PDF → Markdown → Vector Store → LLM → RAGAS Evaluation
- **Pinecone Vector Search** with hybrid retrieval & MMR diversity
- **Configurable LLM** with strict "context-only" prompting
- **RAGAS Metrics** for retrieval & generation quality (async evaluation)
- **FastAPI** with `/chat` (full pipeline) + `/index-status` endpoints
- **Automatic PDF Processing** - converts only when needed

## 🚀 Core Features

| Feature               | Status               | Description                                           |
| --------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **PDF Processing**    | ✅ Incremental        | Converts only newly added PDFs to Markdown (Docling)  |
| **Smart Chunking**    | ✅ Two-Stage          | Header-based segmentation followed by recursive split |
| **Global Embeddings** | ⚡ Cached             | 384 MB embedding model loaded once and reused         |
| **Pinecone Hybrid**   | ✅ MMR + Filters      | Configurable `top_k`, score thresholds, and diversity |
| **Context-Only LLM**  | ✅ Hallucination-Free | Strict prompting with enforced source references      |
| **RAGAS Evaluation**  | 🎯 Asynchronous      | Five automated metrics plus human feedback            |
| **FastAPI + UV**      | 🚀 High Performance  | Separate low-latency `/chat` and `/eval` endpoints    |

🔄 Smart Incremental Pipeline 🏭

| Step       | What happens                                     | Optimization                         |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
| 1. Upload  | POST /full-pipeline → src/data/data_source/*.pdf | Optional - skips if no files         |
| 2. Convert | PDF → MD (convert_yoga_pdfs_to_md())             | Only new PDFs - skips existing .md   |
| 3. Chunk   | 2-stage: Headers → Recursive                     | Preserves structure - H1/H2 metadata |
| 4. Embed   | Global cache (384MB → ONCE)                      | 0.1ms/query after startup            |
| 5. Index   | Pinecone upsert (ingest_to_pinecone_())          | Only new chunks - deterministic IDs  |
