run-llama/semtools

Built in Rust for high performance, it provides document parsing via LlamaParse, local semantic search using multilingual embeddings with configurable distance thresholds, and an AI agent interface that integrates with OpenAI-compatible APIs. The tool embraces Unix philosophy with stdin/stdout piping, workspace-based caching for large document collections, and multi-format support (PDF, DOCX, PPTX). Commands compose naturally: parse documents to markdown, search results with per-line context, or ask questions with the agent reading from both files and stdin.
