L88 – An Agentic Local RAG Knowledge Engine (Looking for Feedback & Contributors)

Hi everyone 👋

I recently built L88, an experimental agentic RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) knowledge engine designed to run locally and explore structured AI reasoning pipelines.

The project focuses on combining retrieval systems, LLM orchestration, and modern web architecture into a unified platform for querying and interacting with knowledge.

GitHub Repository:
https://github.com/Hundred-Trillion/L88-Full


What the Project Does

L88 allows users to upload and interact with knowledge sources using a multi-step AI reasoning pipeline.

Instead of a simple prompt → response system, the project uses a structured workflow where queries pass through multiple stages before generating an answer.

This makes the system more flexible for experimenting with agentic AI workflows and retrieval-based reasoning.


Core Idea

The goal of the project is to experiment with a multi-stage RAG pipeline built with modern tooling.

The system orchestrates different reasoning steps such as routing, query analysis, retrieval, and generation through an organized workflow architecture.

This allows developers to experiment with how AI systems can reason over knowledge rather than relying on a single LLM call.
