Most RAG tutorials start the same way: "First, install a vector database…" Then come the embedding models, the chunking strategies, the similarity thresholds. By the time you can ask a question about a PDF, you've deployed three services and written 200 lines of boilerplate.

How It Works

When you ingest a document, Garudust:

Extracts text (native PDF parser, no external tools)
