Build walkthrough

How it works

Clone the repo, drop your files in the docs/ folder, run python ingest.py to index them, then python agent.py to start asking questions. Uses llama-index with HuggingFace embeddings and ollama for inference. Works offline once set up. Built and verified in one afternoon using Claude Code and the Solo SaaS MVP stack.
