Verba is an open-source end-to-end RAG application built on Weaviate, providing a user-friendly interface for ingesting data and chatting with it via LLMs like Ollama, OpenAI, Cohere, and Anthropic. The repository has been archived and is no longer maintained.

Use cases

  • build a chatbot over my own documents
  • run a local RAG app with Ollama
  • query my dataset with an LLM assistant
  • set up retrieval augmented generation out of the box
  • chat with PDFs using Weaviate
  • self-host a question-answering assistant

When to choose

  • you want a ready-made RAG UI on top of Weaviate
  • you want to fork a reference RAG implementation
  • you need local-first RAG with Ollama/HuggingFace

When to avoid

  • you need active maintenance, security patches, or support
  • you want a production-supported RAG stack
  • you need features beyond what the archived code provides
