| AutoRAG Sep 2026 |
Agentic RAG in the browser. Users and their AI agents append web content to a shared corpus as they browse, then query it from any page. The full pipeline — chunking, embedding, hybrid cosine + BM25 retrieval — runs client-side inside a WebMCP-powered extension, so an agent on any third-party site reaches the corpus with nothing wired up. Built for the WebMCP Challenge. |      |
