What is TrustRAG?
TrustRAG is a self-contained, multi-platform RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) knowledge workbench. It helps you build a private knowledge base, upload documents, ask questions, and — most importantly — inspect the evidence behind each AI answer.
Why TrustRAG?
Most RAG systems give you an AI-generated answer and maybe a list of "sources." TrustRAG goes further:
- Every citation is traceable — linked to a specific document, chunk, page number, and heading path
- Citations are reviewable — approve, reject, or flag each citation for accuracy
- Review history is preserved — full audit trail for accountability
Two Modes
Desktop Mode (Self-Contained)
Download and run. No servers, no databases to configure. TrustRAG bundles a Rust backend and SQLite database inside the app. Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Server Mode (Full Stack)
For teams that need PostgreSQL vector search, Redis caching, and MinIO file storage. Deploy with Docker Compose.
