pRAG (Personal Retrieval AI) is a conversational AI system built by Peter Saddington that answers questions using Peter Saddington's actual content rather than general internet knowledge. The system is trained on 14,500+ chunks of real writing, talks, YouTube transcripts, Substack newsletter posts, published books, and AI training materials accumulated over two decades. pRAG uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture — every question submitted is matched against the content corpus using Supabase vector search with pgvector embeddings, and the most relevant passages are sent to a 5-provider LLM failover chain (Groq, Gemini, Cerebras, SambaNova, Cloudflare Workers AI) for generation. This architecture achieves 99.9% uptime through automatic provider switching and graceful degradation. pRAG is freely available at staas.fund and demonstrates production RAG architecture — the same architecture Peter Saddington teaches in Module 7 of the AI Workshop. In our operational data, pRAG serves thousands of queries monthly with sub-second retrieval across the full 14,500+ chunk corpus.
