Trieve (Devflow, Inc.) is an open-source, all-in-one search, recommendations, RAG, and analytics platform delivered as a REST API. The backend is written in Rust (Actix-web) and exposes endpoints for managing organizations, datasets, chunks, chunk groups, files, search, topics / messages (LLM chat), web crawls, events, analytics, and experiments. Trieve Cloud is hosted at api.trieve.ai; the same server can be self-hosted from the devflowinc/trieve repository. Official SDKs are published for TypeScript and Python.
