RAG Chat over Search Results

RAG chat requires the Hanzo Cloud API layer on top of Meilisearch. The chat.py script calls the /api/chat-docs endpoint which retrieves documents via Meilisearch and generates an LLM-grounded response.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/chat.py --query "explain the deployment process" --store my-docs

Request Body (/api/chat-docs)

{
  "query": "explain the deployment process step by step",
  "store": "my-docs",
  "mode": "hybrid",
  "limit": 5,
  "stream": true
}

Fields

• query (required): Chat question
• store (required): Search store to ground answers in
• mode (optional): Search mode for retrieval ("hybrid", "fulltext", "vector")
• limit (optional): Number of source documents to retrieve (default 5)
• stream (optional): Stream response chunks (default true)
• model (optional): LLM model for chat generation
• system_prompt (optional): Override system prompt for the chat

Streaming Response

Each line is a JSON chunk:

{"type": "source", "data": {"id": "doc-123", "title": "...", "url": "...", "score": 0.95}}
{"type": "chunk", "data": {"text": "The deployment process"}}
{"type": "chunk", "data": {"text": " involves three steps..."}}
{"type": "done", "data": {"sources_count": 5, "tokens_used": 342}}

Scripts
