🏗️ Architecture

Data Pipeline

Web Sources → Scraper → JSON Dataset → Chunker
  ↓ (7 sources)         ↓ (1000+ docs)    ↓
- SAP Community     sap_dataset.json     512-token chunks
- GitHub repos      + metadata           with overlap
- Dev.to articles
- Tech blogs

Processing Pipeline

User Query → FAISS Search → Top-K Chunks → LLM
  ↓              ↓                ↓           ↓
