AllyCat
AllyCat is a full stack, open source chatbot that uses GenAI LLMs to answer questions about your website with both traditional Vector RAG and advanced GraphRAG capabilities. It is simple by design and will run on your laptop or server.
Why?
AllyCat is purposefully simple so it can be used by developers to learn how RAG-based GenAI works. Yet it is powerful enough to use with your website. You may also extend it for your own purposes.

Why the name AllyCat?
Originally AllianceChat, we shortened it to AllyCat when we learned chat means cat in French. Who doesn't love cats?!
