Open Source Contextual Database for LLMs and Research Continuity
A full-stack application with a Python FastAPI backend and a Next.js/React frontend. This project is containerized using Docker and orchestrated with Docker Compose.
Note: This app is designed to save, manage, and persist context from interactions with LLMs (Large Language Models). As a contextual database, ContinueDB enables you to store, retrieve, and continue research tasks or conversations across different LLMs and sessions. This allows for seamless research continuity and context-aware workflows.
