Overview
Unbody is a developer-focused memory API that simplifies building AI applications with persistent memory and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). It provides a unified API layer over various data sources and vector databases, making it easy to ingest, index, and retrieve information for LLM applications without managing complex infrastructure.
The platform acts as a bridge between your data sources (documents, websites, APIs) and AI models, automatically handling chunking, embedding, indexing, and retrieval. Unbody abstracts away the complexity of vector databases and RAG pipelines while providing flexibility for customization.
