## Description

Easy Local RAG is a system for building and operating private, offline retrieval-augmented generation pipelines. It enables users to perform semantic search, document querying, and conversational analysis on local data sources without transmitting sensitive information to external cloud providers.

The project distinguishes itself by integrating specialized utilities for archiving personal email communications alongside standard document processing. By leveraging locally hosted language models and a local vector database, it maintains full control over data ingestion, indexing, and model inference, ensuring that all processing occurs entirely on the user's hardware.

The system supports the ingestion and normalization of various file formats, including text, PDF, and JSON, to facilitate comprehensive data analysis. It manages multi-turn dialogue history through session-based state management, allowing the language model to maintain context and provide coherent responses during interactive queries.
