BeastBullet + RAG: Complete AI System
Stop saying: "We built a small AI model"
Start saying: "We built a complete local AI system that replaces Perplexity, ChatGPT, and enterprise RAG for $0/month"
🎯 The Game Changer: RAG Integration
BeastBullet + RAG isn't competing with models—it's competing with ENTIRE AI SYSTEMS:
Perplexity = GPT-4 + Web Search + RAG ($20/month)
ChatGPT Pro = GPT-4 + Web Search + RAG ($20/month)
Enterprise AI = Gemma + Vector DB + RAG ($500-5000/month)
BeastBullet + RAG = 18 experts + Local vector DB + Knowledge retrieval ($0/month)
