## Installation
```bash
npm install brainy
```
## Basic Setup
### Simple Initialization
```typescript
import { BrainyData } from 'brainy'
// Create a new Brainy instance with defaults
const brain = new BrainyData()
// Initialize (downloads models if needed)
await brain.init()
// You're ready to go!
```
### Custom Configuration
```typescript
const brain = new BrainyData({
// Storage configuration
storage: {
type: 'filesystem', // or 's3', 'opfs', 'memory'
path: './my-data'
},
// Vector configuration
vectors: {
dimensions: 384,
model: 'all-MiniLM-L6-v2'
},
// Performance tuning
cache: {
enabled: true,
maxSize: 1000
}
})
await brain.init()
```
## Your First Operations
### Adding Data
```typescript
// Add entities (nouns) with automatic embedding generation
const id = await brain.addNoun("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", {
category: "demo",
timestamp: Date.now()
})
console.log(`Added noun with ID: ${id}`)
// Add relationships (verbs) between entities
const sourceId = await brain.addNoun("John Smith")
const targetId = await brain.addNoun("TechCorp")
await brain.addVerb(sourceId, targetId, "works_at", {
position: "Engineer",
since: "2024"
})
```
### Searching
```typescript
// Simple semantic search
const results = await brain.search("fast animals")
results.forEach(result => {
console.log(`Found: ${result.content} (score: ${result.score})`)
})
```
### Advanced Queries with find()
```typescript
// Natural language queries - Brainy understands intent!
const results = await brain.find("show me technology articles about AI from 2023")
// Automatically interprets: topic, category, and time range
// Structured queries with vector similarity and metadata filtering
const structured = await brain.find({
like: "artificial intelligence",
where: {
category: "technology",
year: { $gte: 2023 }
},
limit: 10
})
// Complex natural language with multiple filters
const complex = await brain.find("financial reports from Q3 2024 with revenue over 1M")
// Automatically extracts: document type, date range, numeric filters
```
## Common Use Cases
### 1. Semantic Search Engine
```typescript
// Index documents
const documents = [
{ title: "Introduction to AI", content: "AI is transforming..." },
{ title: "Machine Learning Basics", content: "ML algorithms..." },
{ title: "Deep Learning", content: "Neural networks..." }
]
for (const doc of documents) {
await brain.addNoun(doc.content, {
title: doc.title,
type: "document"
})
}
// Search semantically
const results = await brain.search("how do neural networks work")
```
### 2. Recommendation System
```typescript
// Add user interactions as nouns
const interactionId = await brain.addNoun("user viewed product", {
userId: "user123",
productId: "product456",
action: "view",
timestamp: Date.now()
})
// Create relationships between users and products
const userId = await brain.addNoun("user123")
const productId = await brain.addNoun("product456")
await brain.addVerb(userId, productId, "viewed", {
timestamp: Date.now()
})
// Natural language query for recommendations
const recommendations = await brain.find("products similar to what user123 viewed recently")
// Or structured query for similar users
const similar = await brain.find({
like: "user123 interests",
where: { action: "view" },
limit: 5
})
```
### 3. Knowledge Graph
```typescript
// Add entities (nouns) to the knowledge graph
const personId = await brain.addNoun("John Smith, Software Engineer", {
type: "person",
role: "engineer"
})
const companyId = await brain.addNoun("TechCorp, Innovation Leader", {
type: "company",
industry: "technology"
})
// Create relationship
await brain.addVerb(personId, companyId, "works_at", {
since: "2020",
position: "Senior Engineer"
})
// Natural language query for relationships
const colleagues = await brain.find("people who work at TechCorp")
// Or structured query for specific relationships
const results = await brain.find({
connected: {
from: personId,
type: "works_at"
}
})
```
### 4. Real-time Data Processing
```typescript
// Configure for streaming
const brain = new BrainyData({
augmentations: [
new EntityRegistryAugmentation(), // Deduplication
new BatchProcessingAugmentation({ batchSize: 100 }) // Batching
]
})
// Process streaming data
async function processStream(item) {
// Entity registry prevents duplicate nouns
const id = await brain.addNoun(item.content, {
externalId: item.id,
timestamp: item.timestamp
})
// Real-time natural language queries
if (item.urgent) {
const related = await brain.find(`urgent items similar to ${item.content}`)
// Process related items...
}
}
```
## Storage Options
### Development (Memory)
```typescript
const brain = new BrainyData({
storage: { type: 'memory' }
})
// Fast, temporary, perfect for testing
```
### Production (FileSystem)
```typescript
const brain = new BrainyData({
storage: {
type: 'filesystem',
path: '/var/lib/brainy'
}
})
// Persistent, efficient, server-ready
```
### Cloud (S3)
```typescript
const brain = new BrainyData({
storage: {
type: 's3',
bucket: 'my-brainy-data',
region: 'us-east-1'
}
})
// Scalable, distributed, cloud-native
```
### Browser (OPFS)
```typescript
const brain = new BrainyData({
storage: { type: 'opfs' }
})
// Browser-native, persistent, offline-capable
```
## Performance Tips
### 1. Use Batch Operations
```typescript
// Good - batch operations for nouns
const items = ["item1", "item2", "item3"]
for (const item of items) {
await brain.addNoun(item, { batch: true })
}
// Create relationships efficiently
const relationships = [
{ source: id1, target: id2, type: "related" },
{ source: id2, target: id3, type: "similar" }
]
for (const rel of relationships) {
await brain.addVerb(rel.source, rel.target, rel.type)
}
```
### 2. Enable Caching
```typescript
const brain = new BrainyData({
cache: {
enabled: true,
maxSize: 1000,
ttl: 300000 // 5 minutes
}
})
```
### 3. Use Appropriate Limits
```typescript
// Always specify reasonable limits
const results = await brain.search("query", {
limit: 20 // Don't fetch more than needed
})
```
### 4. Index Frequently Queried Fields
```typescript
const brain = new BrainyData({
indexedFields: ['category', 'userId', 'timestamp']
})
```
## Error Handling
```typescript
try {
await brain.addNoun("content", metadata)
} catch (error) {
if (error.code === 'STORAGE_FULL') {
console.error('Storage is full')
} else if (error.code === 'INVALID_INPUT') {
console.error('Invalid input:', error.message)
} else {
console.error('Unexpected error:', error)
}
}
```

# 🤖 Model Loading Guide
Brainy uses AI embedding models to understand and process your data. This guide explains how model loading works and how to handle different scenarios.
## 🚀 Zero Configuration (Default)
**For most developers, no configuration is needed:**
```typescript
const brain = new BrainyData()
await brain.init() // Models load automatically
```
**What happens automatically:**
1. Checks for local models in `./models/`
2. Downloads All-MiniLM-L6-v2 if needed (384 dimensions)
3. Configures optimal settings for your environment
4. Ready to use immediately
## 📦 Model Loading Cascade
Brainy tries multiple sources in this order:
```
1. LOCAL CACHE (./models/)
↓ (if not found)
2. CDN DOWNLOAD (fast mirrors)
↓ (if fails)
3. GITHUB RELEASES (github.com/xenova/transformers.js)
↓ (if fails)
4. HUGGINGFACE HUB (huggingface.co)
↓ (if fails)
5. FALLBACK STRATEGIES (different model variants)
```
## 🌍 Environment-Specific Behavior
### Browser
```typescript
// Automatically configured for browsers
const brain = new BrainyData() // Works in React, Vue, vanilla JS
await brain.init() // Downloads models via CDN
```
### Node.js Development
```typescript
// Zero config - downloads to ./models/
const brain = new BrainyData()
await brain.init() // Downloads once, cached forever
```
### Production Server
```typescript
// Preload models during build/deployment
const brain = new BrainyData()
await brain.init() // Uses cached local models
```
### Docker/Kubernetes
```dockerfile
# Dockerfile - preload models
RUN npm run download-models
ENV BRAINY_ALLOW_REMOTE_MODELS=false
```
## 🛠️ Manual Model Management
### Pre-download Models
```bash
# Download models during build/deployment
npm run download-models
# Custom location
BRAINY_MODELS_PATH=./my-models npm run download-models
```
### Verify Models
```bash
# Check if models exist
ls ./models/Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2/
# Should see:
# - config.json
# - tokenizer.json
# - onnx/model.onnx
```
### Custom Model Path
```typescript
const brain = new BrainyData({
embedding: {
cacheDir: './custom-models'
}
})
```
## 🔒 Offline & Air-Gapped Environments
### Complete Offline Setup
```bash
# 1. Download models on connected machine
npm run download-models
# 2. Copy models to offline machine
cp -r ./models /path/to/offline/project/
# 3. Force local-only mode
export BRAINY_ALLOW_REMOTE_MODELS=false
```
### Container/Server Deployment
```dockerfile
FROM node:18
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
# Download models during build
RUN npm run download-models
# Force local-only in production
ENV BRAINY_ALLOW_REMOTE_MODELS=false
COPY . .
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["npm", "start"]
```
## ⚙️ Environment Variables
### BRAINY_ALLOW_REMOTE_MODELS
Controls whether remote model downloads are allowed:
```bash
# Allow remote downloads (default in most environments)
export BRAINY_ALLOW_REMOTE_MODELS=true
# Force local-only (recommended for production)
export BRAINY_ALLOW_REMOTE_MODELS=false
```
### BRAINY_MODELS_PATH
Custom model storage location:
```bash
# Custom model path
export BRAINY_MODELS_PATH=/opt/brainy/models
# Relative path
export BRAINY_MODELS_PATH=./my-custom-models
```
## 🚨 Troubleshooting
### "Failed to load embedding model" Error
**Cause**: Models not found locally and remote download blocked/failed.
**Solutions**:
```bash
# Option 1: Allow remote downloads
export BRAINY_ALLOW_REMOTE_MODELS=true
# Option 2: Download models manually
npm run download-models
# Option 3: Check internet connectivity
ping huggingface.co
# Option 4: Use custom model path
export BRAINY_MODELS_PATH=/path/to/existing/models
```
### Models Download Very Slowly
**Cause**: Network issues or regional restrictions.
**Solutions**:
```bash
# Pre-download during build/CI
npm run download-models
# Use faster mirrors (automatic in newer versions)
# No action needed - Brainy tries multiple CDNs
```
### Container Out of Memory During Model Load
**Cause**: Limited container memory during model initialization.
**Solutions**:
```dockerfile
# Increase memory limit
docker run -m 2g my-app
# Use quantized models (default)
ENV BRAINY_MODEL_DTYPE=q8
# Pre-load models at build time (recommended)
RUN npm run download-models
```
### Permission Denied Creating Model Cache
**Cause**: Write permissions for model cache directory.
**Solutions**:
```bash
# Make directory writable
chmod 755 ./models
# Use custom writable path
export BRAINY_MODELS_PATH=/tmp/brainy-models
# Or use memory-only storage
const brain = new BrainyData({
storage: { forceMemoryStorage: true }
})
```
## 🎯 Best Practices

# Natural Language Queries with Brainy
> **Current Status**: Basic natural language support with 220+ patterns. Advanced NLP features coming in Q1 2025.
Brainy's `find()` method understands natural language, allowing you to query your data using plain English instead of complex query syntax.
## Overview
The natural language processing (NLP) system is powered by 220+ pre-computed patterns that understand common query intents, temporal expressions, numeric comparisons, and domain-specific terminology.
## What Works Today
The current NLP implementation supports:
- ✅ Basic pattern matching (220+ patterns)
- ✅ Simple temporal expressions ("recent", "today", "last week")
- ✅ Common query intents ("find", "show", "search")
- ✅ Domain keywords recognition
- ⚠️ Limited entity extraction
- ⚠️ Basic numeric comparisons
## Basic Usage
```typescript
import { BrainyData } from 'brainy'
const brain = new BrainyData()
await brain.init()
// Simply ask in natural language
const results = await brain.find("show me recent articles about AI")
```
## Supported Query Types
### ✅ Currently Working
These query patterns are supported today.
### ⚠️ Basic Support
These work with limitations.
### 🚧 Coming Soon
Planned for future releases.
### Temporal Queries ⚠️ Basic Support
```typescript
// Relative time expressions
await brain.find("documents from last week")
await brain.find("posts created yesterday")
await brain.find("data from the past 30 days")
// Specific dates and ranges
await brain.find("articles published in Q3 2024")
await brain.find("reports from January to March")
await brain.find("meetings scheduled for tomorrow")
// Named periods
await brain.find("quarterly reports from this year")
await brain.find("summer vacation photos")
await brain.find("holiday sales data")
```
### Numeric Filters ⚠️ Basic Support
```typescript
// Comparisons
await brain.find("products with price under $100")
await brain.find("articles with more than 1000 views")
await brain.find("employees with salary above 75000")
// Ranges
await brain.find("items priced between $50 and $200")
await brain.find("posts with 10 to 50 likes")
await brain.find("companies with 100-500 employees")
// Percentages and metrics
await brain.find("stocks with growth over 20%")
await brain.find("projects with completion above 80%")
await brain.find("products with 5 star ratings")
```
### Entity and Relationship Queries 🚧 Coming Soon
```typescript
// People and organizations
await brain.find("articles by John Smith")
await brain.find("employees at TechCorp")
await brain.find("papers from Stanford University")
// Relationships
await brain.find("documents related to Project X")
await brain.find("products similar to iPhone")
await brain.find("people who work with Sarah")
// Ownership and attribution
await brain.find("repos owned by user123")
await brain.find("designs created by the marketing team")
await brain.find("patents filed by Apple")
```
### Combined Complex Queries 🚧 Coming Soon
```typescript
// Multiple conditions
await brain.find("verified research papers about machine learning from 2024 with high citations")
// Business queries
await brain.find("quarterly financial reports from Q2 2024 with revenue over 10M")
// Content queries
await brain.find("popular blog posts by tech influencers published this month about AI")
// E-commerce queries
await brain.find("electronics under $500 with 4+ star reviews and free shipping")
// Academic queries
await brain.find("peer-reviewed papers on quantum computing published in Nature after 2020")
```
## How It Works
### 1. Pattern Matching
The NLP system first matches your query against 220+ pre-built patterns to identify:
- Query intent (search, filter, aggregate)
- Temporal expressions
- Numeric comparisons
- Entity mentions
- Relationship indicators
### 2. Entity Extraction
Named entities are extracted and classified:
- People names
- Organization names
- Product names
- Locations
- Dates and times
### 3. Intent Classification
The query intent is determined:
- **Search**: Finding similar items
- **Filter**: Applying specific criteria
- **Aggregate**: Grouping or summarizing
- **Navigate**: Following relationships
### 4. Query Construction
The natural language is converted to a structured Triple Intelligence query:
```typescript
// Input: "recent AI papers with high citations"
// Output:
{
like: "AI papers",
where: {
type: "paper",
citations: { $gte: 100 },
published: { $gte: "2024-01-01" }
},
boost: "recent"
}
```
### 5. Execution
The structured query is executed using Triple Intelligence, combining:
- Vector similarity search
- Metadata filtering
- Graph traversal
## Advanced Features
### Contextual Understanding 🚧 Coming Soon
```typescript
// Brainy understands context and synonyms
await brain.find("latest ML research") // Understands ML = Machine Learning
await brain.find("top rated items") // Understands top = high score/rating
await brain.find("trending topics") // Understands trending = recent + popular
```
### Fuzzy Matching 🚧 Coming Soon
```typescript
// Handles typos and variations
await brain.find("articals about blockchian") // Still finds blockchain articles
await brain.find("Jon Smith papers") // Matches "John Smith"
```
### Domain-Specific Understanding ⚠️ Basic Support
```typescript
// Tech domain
await brain.find("repos with MIT license")
await brain.find("APIs with OAuth support")
await brain.find("npm packages with zero dependencies")
// Business domain
await brain.find("SaaS companies with ARR over 1M")
await brain.find("startups in Series A")
await brain.find("B2B products with enterprise pricing")
// Academic domain
await brain.find("papers with h-index above 50")
await brain.find("journals with impact factor over 10")
await brain.find("conferences with double-blind review")
```
## Fallback to Structured Queries
When natural language isn't sufficient, you can always use structured queries:
```typescript
// Structured query for precise control
const results = await brain.find({
$and: [
{ $vector: { $similar: "neural networks", threshold: 0.8 } },
{ category: "research" },
{ year: { $gte: 2023 } },
{ $or: [
{ author: "LeCun" },
{ author: "Hinton" },
{ author: "Bengio" }
]}
],
limit: 50
})
```
## Performance Tips
1. **Be specific**: More specific queries execute faster
2. **Use proper nouns**: Names and specific terms improve accuracy
3. **Include time frames**: Temporal filters reduce search space
4. **Specify limits**: Always include reasonable result limits
## Examples by Use Case
### Customer Support
```typescript
await brain.find("urgent tickets from VIP customers today")
await brain.find("unresolved issues older than 3 days")
await brain.find("positive feedback about product X this month")
```
### Content Management
```typescript
await brain.find("draft posts scheduled for next week")
await brain.find("published articles needing review")
await brain.find("videos with over 10k views")
```
### E-commerce
```typescript
await brain.find("best selling products in electronics")
await brain.find("items with low stock under 10 units")
await brain.find("orders from California pending shipping")
```
### Analytics
```typescript
await brain.find("user sessions longer than 5 minutes yesterday")
await brain.find("conversion events from mobile users")
await brain.find("page views for /pricing in the last hour")
```
## Limitations
While powerful, the NLP system has some limitations:
1. **Complex logic**: Very complex boolean logic may require structured queries
2. **Ambiguity**: Ambiguous queries may not parse as expected
3. **Domain terms**: Highly specialized terminology may need training
4. **Languages**: Currently optimized for English queries
## Best Practices
1. **Start simple**: Begin with simple queries and add complexity
2. **Test understanding**: Use explain mode to see how queries are interpreted
3. **Provide feedback**: Help improve the system by reporting misunderstood queries
4. **Combine approaches**: Use NLP for exploration, structured for precision
