RecallOS converted to terminal-based AI document assistant for VS Code

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The author aims to transform RecallOS, an existing AI document assistant, into a terminal-only application that integrates directly with Visual Studio Code. This new version will support various document formats including PDF, DOCX, TXT, and Markdown, extracting text and generating embeddings with sentence_transformers. Local storage and retrieval will be handled by ChromaDB, while Ollama with Gemma 3 (4B) will power local RAG for generating answers. The goal is to maintain privacy, preserve chat history, and reuse existing codebase components. AI

IMPACT Enables local, private AI document search and Q&A within a developer's existing workflow.
