What it does

Components for ingesting your own files - PDF, text, Markdown and more - and having an LLM answer from them, so you can build a document-grounded assistant into your own product. Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral and others, and the retrieval pipeline can be customised with web search or extra tools. This is a developer library, not a finished app: if you just want to drop in documents and start asking questions, look elsewhere. You pay for the LLM calls.

Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

quivr FAQ

Is quivr free?: quivr itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
Do I need to install anything or write code to use quivr?: It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
Does quivr work on a phone?: No. It needs a computer.
Can I use quivr commercially?: The project does not state a clear licence, so commercial use cannot be confirmed here. Check the official page or ask the author before using it at work.
