Complete RAG Solution: Development & Infrastructure Plan

Private AI Brain with Swappable LLM Models

External API Integration

Supported Integration Types (V1)

  • Custom REST APIs - Client-specific business systems
  • Simple authentication - API Key or Bearer token
  • JSON responses - Standard REST API format

API Configuration

  • Manual setup - Admin configures API endpoints through UI
  • Basic auth types - API Key in header or Bearer token
  • Simple mapping - Map query keywords to specific endpoints

Real-time Data Queries (V1 Simplified)

Manual Keyword Mapping: Admin defines which keywords trigger which APIs:

  • "current inventory" → Inventory API
  • "customer status" → Customer API
  • "project progress" → Project API

Simple API Examples

csharp
// Basic API configuration
public class CustomApi
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string BaseUrl { get; set; }
    public string AuthType { get; set; } // "api_key" or "bearer"
    public string ApiKey { get; set; } // encrypted
    public List<ApiEndpoint> Endpoints { get; set; }
}

public class ApiEndpoint  
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string EndpointPath { get; set; }
    public string Method { get; set; } = "GET";
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public string[] TriggerKeywords { get; set; }
}

// Simple usage example
query = "What's the current inventory for Product X?"
// System detects "current inventory" keywords
// Calls: GET {BaseUrl}/inventory?product=X
// Adds result to context before LLM generation

Caching & Performance (V1 Simplified)

  • Basic caching: 5-minute cache for API responses
  • Simple retry: 3 retry attempts with exponential backoff
  • Timeout handling: 30-second timeout, graceful fallback
  • Error handling: Log errors, continue with document-only responses

Angular Frontend Architecture

Chat Interface Components

typescript
// chat.component.ts
@Component({
  selector: 'app-chat',
  template: `
    <div class="chat-container">
      <app-message-list [messages]="messages"></app-message-list>
      <app-message-input 
        (messageSent)="sendMessage($event)"
        [isLoading]="isLoading">
      </app-message-input>
    </div>
  `
})
export class ChatComponent implements OnInit {
  messages: ChatMessage[] = [];
  isLoading = false;
  
  constructor(
    private chatService: ChatService,
    private signalRService: SignalRService
  ) {}
  
  ngOnInit() {
    this.signalRService.startConnection();
    this.signalRService.addMessageListener((message) => {
      this.messages.push(message);
    });
  }
  
  async sendMessage(content: string) {
    this.isLoading = true;
    try {
      const response = await this.chatService.sendMessage(content);
      this.messages.push(response);
    } finally {
      this.isLoading = false;
    }
  }
}

// chat.service.ts
@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class ChatService {
  constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}
  
  sendMessage(content: string): Observable<ChatResponse> {
    return this.http.post<ChatResponse>('/api/chat/message', { content });
  }
  
  uploadDocument(file: File): Observable<DocumentUploadResponse> {
    const formData = new FormData();
    formData.append('file', file);
    return this.http.post<DocumentUploadResponse>('/api/documents/upload', formData);
  }
}

Document Management

typescript

            {{doc.expiryDate | date}}
          </span>
        </mat-cell>
      </ng-container>
      
      <mat-header-row *matHeaderRowDef="displayedColumns"></mat-header-row>
      <mat-row *matRowDef="let row; columns: displayedColumns;"></mat-row>
    </mat-table>
  `
})
export class DocumentManagerComponent {
  documents: Document[] = [];
  displayedColumns = ['name', 'expiryDate', 'actions'];
  
  constructor(private documentService: DocumentService) {}
  
  isExpired(date: Date): boolean {
    return new Date(date) < new Date();
  }
}

Timeline: 3-4 weeks for Phase 1 & 2 (MVP - parallel development) Budget: $2,254/month for dual GPU setup (recommended) Team: 1-2 experienced developers + Xamun AI partnership


Architecture Overview

Core Components

  • Chat Interface - Web/mobile frontend for user interactions
  • LLM Abstraction Layer - Unified interface for different models (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models, etc.)
  • Private LLM Infrastructure - 7B Mistral model on Azure GPU
  • Vector Database - PostgreSQL with pgvector extension
  • Knowledge Management System - Document ingestion, processing, and lifecycle management
  • Memory System - Conversation history and learning from interactions
  • RBAC System - Role-based access control and security (Xamun AI)
  • API Integration Layer - Real-time querying of core business systems

System Flow

User → Chat Interface → Xamun AI (RBAC + orchestration) → RAG Service → LLM Server (GPU)
                                    ↓                           ↓
                            Web Server (PostgreSQL + APIs)  External APIs
                            (documents + embeddings)        (CRM, ERP, etc.)

Two-Server Architecture

Server 1: Web/Database Server

  • Chat Interface, Xamun AI Platform, RAG Service
  • PostgreSQL with pgvector
  • API integrations and business logic
  • Document processing and storage

Server 2: LLM Server (GPU)

  • Private 7B Mistral model
  • GPU-optimized inference
  • Model serving API
  • Isolated compute environment

Development Plan

Phase 1: Core RAG Foundation (3-4 weeks - Parallel Development)

Your Team Builds:

  • PostgreSQL + pgvector setup
  • Basic LLM abstraction layer
  • Document ingestion pipeline
  • Simple RAG implementation with vector search
  • API endpoints for RAG functionality
  • External API integration layer for real-time data queries
  • Private 7B Mistral deployment on Azure

Phase 2: Knowledge Management + RBAC (3-4 weeks - Parallel with Phase 1)

Xamun AI Builds:

  • Knowledge Management:
    • FAQ system with CRUD operations
    • Document lifecycle management
    • Expiry monitoring and notifications
    • Search optimization
  • RBAC System:
    • User authentication/authorization
    • Role-based permissions for documents/FAQs
    • API security layer
    • Chat interface integration
  • Chat Interface:

Private 7B Mistral Performance

  • Inference Speed: 50-100 tokens/second per GPU
  • Response Time: 2-5 seconds for typical queries
  • Context Window: 8K tokens (sufficient for most documents)
  • Concurrent Users: 3-5 per GPU (6-10 total with dual setup)
  • Memory Usage: ~12GB VRAM per model instance

Scaling Strategy

  • Auto-scaling: Start additional instances during peak hours
  • Load Balancing: Distribute queries across available GPUs
  • Caching: Cache frequent responses to reduce compute load
  • Optimization: Model quantization for better throughput

Security & GDPR Compliance

Data Protection Measures

  • Data Residency: All data stored and processed in Azure EU regions
