Arcaneum is a semantic search and knowledge management tool.
There are likely quite a few RAG tools available. But Arcaneum was developed for two reasons.
First, as an experiment in building a full-featured project only using the RDR model. I didn’t write a single line of code, nor have I read any of it, but I did iterate extensively on the RDRs I wanted to have implemented on my behalf.
Second, I needed a tool to help me write better RDRs and do deeper research. This meant I needed a RAG for both research/academic papers and for source code. Arcaneum supports both.
A third bonus reason was that I wanted to explore the AI tooling ecosystem.
It’s likely too buggy to be used by anyone but me, but I use it daily.
