ChatForge: Open-Source RAG Chatbot Framework
Ship a production RAG chatbot in minutes — no code, no fine-tuning.
Introduction
ChatForge is an extensible, open-source framework for building retrieval-augmented chatbots that answer questions from product catalogs, documents, and FAQs — all through natural conversation. It pairs Pixeltable for vector search with Chainlit for the chat interface, and supports multiple LLM backends so you're never locked in. The goal: take a pile of unstructured knowledge and turn it into an intelligent assistant in under ten minutes.
Demo
The demo
