NEW BLOG!

GraphRAG proved that structure = reliability in AI 🧠⚙️ But not every team wants the complexity of a full graph setup. DocumentRAG (BM25-based) hits the sweet spot... explainable, grounded, and lightweight. Learn why structure still wins 👇 bit.ly/48kWHvC

We are definitely not in an AI bubble. When AI and sandwiches collide.

Not going to lie, they make amazing sandwiches though.
