Live Query Demo
Experience the routing and retrieval logic in real-time
💡 Demo mode: Using mock data.
Use Cases
Real-world scenarios for consulting and research
Example Query:
What did we learn about healthcare M&A trends in Q3 2024?
Results:
- Past deal analysis: Healthcare M&A increased 23% in Q3
- Client note: Client X interested in healthcare vertical
- Industry report summary: Regulatory changes driving consolidation
Implementation Details
Core logic in Rust for maximum performance
Router Function
Intelligent routing with heuristic cascade
fn route_query(q: &Query) -> RouteResult {
// Small talk stays in working memory
if is_smalltalk(q) {
return query_l1(q);
}
// Exact matches: sparse + KV with dense sanity check
if needs_exact_match(q) {
let result = query_l2_sparse(q) + query_l2_kv(q);
return sanity_check_dense(result);
}
// Semantic search: dense ANN with reranking
if needs_semantic_search(q) {
let candidates = query_l2_dense_ann(q, TOP_K);
let reranked = late_interaction_rerank(candidates);
return enrich_from_l1(reranked);
}
// Fall back to archive for low confidence or long-horizon queries
if has_low_confidence() || is_long_horizon(q) {
let archive_result = tap_l3_archive(q);
let summary = summarize(archive_result);
promote_to_l2_kv(summary);
return archive_result;
}
// Log telemetry for analysis
log_query_metrics(QueryMetrics {
