Ask ServiceStack Docs - Introducing AI Search
Learn about the new AI Search feature - Typesense Conversational RAG for ServiceStack Docs
In this episode, we explore ServiceStack Docs' new AI Search feature, which leverages Typesense Conversational Search and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities to deliver intelligent, context-aware answers from documentation.
We discuss how this AI Search serves users seeking conversational explanations, conceptual understanding, and answers to complex "how-to" questions, distinguishing it from traditional instant search for specific lookups.
The hosts dive into key features including a conversational interface, support for multi-turn conversations that maintain context, and answers grounded in documentation with relevant links and snippets. On the technical side, we examine how the system indexes content using a scraper, utilizes Typesense's multi_search API, and sends queries to the Gemini Flash 2.5 LLM for generating responses.
The episode concludes with a discussion on how this functionality enhances developer learning, troubleshooting, and team onboarding by providing quick, synthesized access to the knowledge base.
