Guides
Step-by-step guides for building with Antfly
Guides
Each guide ends with one working thing. The concept pages explain how a part of the engine works so you can tune it.
Quickstart
Install Antfly, load data, and run your first queries
Build a Support Answer Agent
One call that answers a customer's question from your help articles, with reranking and pruning so it stays quiet when it has no evidence
Add Search and AI Answers to Your Site
A React page with live results and facets, plus an answer box that streams a grounded answer with sources, all on one Antfly table
Use Antfly from n8n
An n8n AI Agent that answers from your Antfly table over hosted MCP, with no application code between the two
Route Tickets with Retrieval
New tickets stream out of PostgreSQL and get assigned a team by the resolved tickets that look most like them
Power a Coding Copilot's Retrieval
A repo index that answers both exact symbol lookups and intent questions, returned as a context block sized to your model's budget
Stream PostgreSQL into Antfly
An Antfly table that mirrors a PostgreSQL table on its own, every insert, update, and delete included, with PostgreSQL still the system of record
Tune Hybrid Search
One query that matches exact words and meaning at once, with fusion, reranking, and pruning tuned for the results you actually want
Document Engine
How one query composes full-text, vector, filters, graph traversal, exact sort, and cursor pagination over a table's physical indexes
Artifact-Backed Indexes
How one full-text, vector, or graph index unions the records that enrichments generate, and how to tell when it is ready
Antfly Inference
The model runtime inside Antfly, what it runs, and how to pull and configure models for it
Local Model Compatibility
How Antfly decides whether a local model artifact can load, which artifacts are verified, and which are refused
Antfly Lite
How the embedded single-file profile of Antfly works, what it shares with a normal instance, and how data moves between the two
Multimodal Embeddings
Index and search images, audio, and documents with executable Antfly workflows
