Graph retrieval tied plain vector search at best and never beat it. Measured
across five corpora, the bottleneck was seeding, not the graph: the walk
started from nodes whose embeddings were computed from bare entity names, and
a whole question shares almost nothing with a name like "Quill".
Extraction now embeds each node from "name (type): description" and each
relationship as the fact it asserts ("Alder streams_to Quill: ..."), stored on
a new nullable graph_edges.fact_embedding column that ensure_vector_schema adds
in place. Entity names are canonicalised (case, punctuation, word breaks and a
cautious plural) so "VECTOR_STORE" and "vector stores" land on one node. Extraction calls run
concurrently (GRAPHRAG_EXTRACTION_WORKERS, default 8) while embedding and graph
writes stay serial on the task thread, so ordering and idempotency are
unchanged; that measured 8.4x faster with identical output.
Retrieval gains per-source options, stored under retrieval.graph and read live
at query time:
- seed_strategy: start from matching entities (default) or matching
relationships, which can reach an entity the question never names;
- passage_nodes (on): walk the source's passages alongside entities, with
PageRank damping 0.5 instead of 0.85;
- blend_vector (on): fuse the graph ranking with the source's vector ranking
by reciprocal rank.
The defaults are the measured-best configuration. Through GraphRAGRetriever,
the new seeding moved recall@4 from 0.41 to 0.68 on a multi-hop corpus and
from 0.50 to 1.00 on the docs corpus, and regressed none of the corpora
measured. Existing graphs keep name-only embeddings until rebuilt.

QuickStart
Note
DocsGPT runs on Docker. The installer checks for it first.
macOS and Linux:
curl -fsSL https://docs.ac/install | bash
Windows (PowerShell):
irm https://docs.ac/install.ps1 | iex
The installer gets uv, installs the docsgpt Python package with it, and runs docsgpt up. That asks who should reach DocsGPT (only this computer, your network, or a domain with HTTPS) and which model provider to use, then starts it, at http://localhost:7091 for a local install. Afterwards, docsgpt status, docsgpt logs, docsgpt upgrade, docsgpt down and docsgpt uninstall manage it.
To read the script before running it:
curl -fsSL https://docs.ac/install -o install.sh
less install.sh
bash install.sh
A more detailed Quickstart is available in our documentation.
From a clone, with the setup script
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/arc53/DocsGPT.git cd DocsGPT
For macOS and Linux:
-
Run the setup script:
./setup.sh
For Windows:
-
Run the PowerShell setup script:
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\setup.ps1
Either script will guide you through setting up DocsGPT. Five options are available: using the public API, running locally, connecting to a local inference engine, using a cloud API provider, or building the docker image locally. The scripts will automatically configure your .env file and handle necessary downloads and installations based on your chosen option.
Navigate to http://localhost:5173/
To stop DocsGPT, open a terminal in the DocsGPT directory and run:
docker compose -f deployment/docker-compose.yaml down
(or use the specific docker compose down command shown after running the setup script).

For development environment setup instructions, please refer to the Development Environment Guide.
