Ragie

Fully managed RAG-as-a-Service platform for enterprise AI applications

api-usage-basedupdated Aug 16, 2026

Ragie is a managed retrieval-augmented generation platform that handles document ingestion, indexing, and retrieval so developers can build grounded AI applications without managing vector databases or chunking pipelines. It connects to Google Drive, Notion, Slack, Confluence, and other enterprise data sources with simple APIs for hybrid search and entity extraction.

Ragie abstracts the complexity of building production RAG systems into a managed API service. Developers connect their data sources, and Ragie handles document parsing, intelligent chunking, embedding generation, vector indexing, and hybrid retrieval. The platform supports over twenty data source connectors including Google Drive, Notion, Slack, Confluence, SharePoint, and direct file uploads. Data synchronization runs continuously, keeping the index current as source documents change.

The retrieval API provides hybrid search combining semantic vector similarity with keyword matching and entity extraction. Developers can filter results by metadata, date ranges, and data source, making it practical to build applications that search across organizational knowledge with precision. The API design prioritizes simplicity over configuration, letting teams prototype RAG applications in hours rather than the weeks typically required to build and tune a custom retrieval pipeline.

Ragie positions itself between low-level vector databases like Pinecone or Qdrant and high-level application builders, providing the knowledge plumbing that connects raw enterprise data to AI models. The platform targets development teams building internal knowledge bases, customer support bots, research assistants, and document analysis tools who need production-grade retrieval without dedicating engineering resources to MLOps infrastructure.

PageIndex logo

PageIndex

Vectorless, reasoning-based RAG that reads documents like a human expert — no vector DB, no chunking.

PageIndex is a vectorless, reasoning-based RAG system that builds hierarchical tree indexes from long documents and uses LLMs to navigate them like a human expert would. Instead of chunking text and comparing embeddings, it constructs a table-of-contents-style structure and reasons its way to the right sections — no vector database required. Available as an open-source Python package, cloud API, MCP server, and chat platform.

Agent Skills logo

Agent Skills

Open standard for portable skills across AI agents

Agent Skills is the open SKILL.md folder specification for packaging reusable instructions, scripts, references, and assets that compatible AI agents load through progressive disclosure. Originally developed by Anthropic and released as an open standard, it defines the portable format itself—not an example library, marketplace, or hosted agent product.

VexDB-Lite VexDB parent mark

VexDB-Lite

One vector-search extension across PostgreSQL, DuckDB and SQLite

MIT-licensed vector-search extension for PostgreSQL, DuckDB and SQLite that shares one graph-index core with PQ/RaBitQ quantization, persistent indexes and metadata filtering; SQLite packages cover Linux, macOS, iOS, Android and WASM, so it runs inside existing databases instead of as a separate vector service.

Cloudflare Vectorize

Edge-native vector database for Workers and AI applications

Cloudflare Vectorize is Cloudflare’s managed vector database for Workers and edge AI applications. It is distinct from the existing Cloudflare Workers tool page: Workers is the compute runtime, while Vectorize is the embedding index and vector-query layer used to add semantic retrieval to Cloudflare-hosted apps.
