Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hybrid retrieval: BM25 keyword search, vector similarity, and LLM reranking operate together for accurate results.
  • On-device indexing: indexes local markdown notes, meeting transcripts, and documentation without cloud dependencies.
  • MCP integration: connects with Hermes Agent for streamlined automation and workflows.

Quick Start

Install qmd, create a collection of documents, and run your first search to see results locally.
