Built a Multimodal RAG system live on stream. From zero to working CLI in one session.

The goal: a terminal-based RAG pipeline using Haystack, Gemini Multimodal Embeddings, and Flash Lite, querying complex research PDFs through a conversational loop.

Three real engineering lessons from the build:

Chunking isn't optional. Raw PDFs exhaust token limits instantly. 6-page splits solved it.

InMemoryDocumentStore works for prototyping, but re-vectorizes on every launch. Persistent DBs like Weaviate are the next step.

Haystack's pipeline is strict. Mis-wiring a retriever to a generator crashes the loop immediately. API contracts matter.

Result: a CLI that maps user queries to the top 4 semantic chunks in RAM and returns grounded, non-hallucinated answers from your own documents.

Every mistake, every fix, on camera.

"Ugurcan Uzunkaya this is seriously impressive! 🔥 Building a full RAG pipeline live on stream in one session is no joke!

That chunking lesson is so real — token limits hit different when you're working with raw PDFs.

And the Haystack pipeline point about API contracts is...

Revolutionizing Member Management: My Deep Dive into an All-in-One Dashboard Experience Managing a community or organization can be overwhelming, especially when juggling multiple platforms for payments, communications, and reporting. But recently, I had the chance to dive into a member management system that completely transformed the way I handle these tasks. From the moment I logged in, the seamless integration of features took the stress out of admin work.

The dashboard's design is sleek yet incredibly intuitive. Whether it's tracking memberships in real-time, visualizing payment statuses, or managing detailed member profiles, every tool I needed was right at my fingertips. The 'Gestão de Sócios' feature allowed me to quickly overview and edit member details, all while tracking pending payments and outstanding dues.

Great work!!🎉 What framework did you use?
