Open-source AI orchestration framework for building context-engineered, production-ready LLM applications. Design modular pipelines and agent workflows with explicit control over retrieval, routing, memory, and generation. Built for scalable agents, RAG, multimodal applications, semantic search, and conversational systems.
deepset-ai/haystack is an open-source Python framework for assembling AI applications from modular pipelines that handle tasks such as retrieving information, routing requests, managing memory, and generating responses. It is for developers building retrieval-augmented generation, semantic search, question-answering, multimodal, and agent systems. The catalogue instructions relate to working with this framework.
