Hi HN,
I built a CLI for uploading documents and querying them with an LLM agent that uses search tools rather than stuffing everything into the context window. I recorded a demo using the CrossFit 2025 rulebook that shows how this approach compares to traditional RAG and direct context injection[1].

At one point I was paying over $400 a month for hosting these in the cloud. Last year I moved all my stuff to Hetzner.
