**🧠 Brainy 2.0 - Zero-Configuration AI Database with Triple Intelligence™**
The industry's first truly zero-configuration AI database that combines vector similarity, metadata filtering, and graph relationships with O(log n) performance. Production-ready with 3ms search latency, 220 pre-computed NLP patterns, and only 24MB memory footprint.
## 🎉 What's New in 2.0
- **Triple Intelligence™**: Unified Vector + Metadata + Graph queries in one API
- **API Consolidation**: 15+ methods → 2 clean APIs (`search()` and `find()`)
- **Natural Language**: Ask questions in plain English
- **Zero Configuration**: Works instantly, no setup required
- **O(log n) Performance**: Binary search on sorted indices
- **220+ NLP Patterns**: Pre-computed for instant understanding
- **Universal Compatibility**: Node.js, Browser, Edge, Workers
## ⚡ Quick Start
```bash
npm install brainy
```
```javascript
import { BrainyData } from 'brainy'
const brain = new BrainyData()
await brain.init()
// Add data with automatic embedding
await brain.addNoun("JavaScript is a programming language", {
type: "language",
year: 1995
})
// Natural language search
const results = await brain.find("programming languages from the 90s")
// Vector similarity with metadata filtering
const filtered = await brain.search("JavaScript", {
metadata: { type: "language" },
limit: 5
})
```
## 🚀 Key Features
### Triple Intelligence Engine
Combines three search paradigms in one unified API:
- **Vector Search**: Semantic similarity with HNSW indexing
- **Metadata Filtering**: O(log n) field lookups with binary search
- **Graph Relationships**: Navigate connected knowledge
### Natural Language Understanding
```javascript
// Ask questions naturally
await brain.find("Show me recent React components with tests")
await brain.find("Popular JavaScript libraries similar to Vue")
await brain.find("Documentation about authentication from last month")
```
### Zero Configuration Philosophy
- **No API keys required** - Built-in embedding models
- **No external dependencies** - Everything included
- **No complex setup** - Works instantly
- **Smart defaults** - Optimized out of the box
### Production Performance
- **3ms average search** - Lightning fast queries
- **24MB memory footprint** - Efficient resource usage
- **Worker-based embeddings** - Non-blocking operations
- **Automatic caching** - Intelligent result caching
## 📚 Core API
### `search()` - Vector Similarity
```javascript
const results = await brain.search("machine learning", {
limit: 10, // Number of results
metadata: { type: "article" }, // Filter by metadata
includeContent: true // Include full content
})
```
### `find()` - Natural Language Queries
```javascript
// Simple natural language
const results = await brain.find("recent important documents")
// Structured query with Triple Intelligence
const results = await brain.find({
like: "JavaScript", // Vector similarity
where: { // Metadata filters
year: { greaterThan: 2020 },
important: true
},
related: { to: "React" } // Graph relationships
})
```
### CRUD Operations
```javascript
// Create
const id = await brain.addNoun(data, metadata)
// Read
const item = await brain.getNoun(id)
// Update
await brain.updateNoun(id, newData, newMetadata)
// Delete
await brain.deleteNoun(id)
// Bulk operations
await brain.import(arrayOfData)
const exported = await brain.export({ format: 'json' })
```
## 🎯 Use Cases
### Knowledge Management
```javascript
// Store and search documentation
await brain.addNoun(documentContent, {
title: "API Guide",
category: "documentation",
version: "2.0"
})
const docs = await brain.find("API documentation for version 2")
```
### Semantic Search
```javascript
// Find similar content
const similar = await brain.search(existingContent, {
limit: 5,
threshold: 0.8
})
```
### AI Memory Layer
```javascript
// Store conversation context
await brain.addNoun(userMessage, {
userId: "123",
timestamp: Date.now(),
session: "abc"
})
// Retrieve relevant context
const context = await brain.find(`previous conversations with user 123`)
```
## 💾 Storage Options
Brainy supports multiple storage backends:
```javascript
// Memory (default for testing)
const brain = new BrainyData({
storage: { type: 'memory' }
})
// FileSystem (Node.js)
const brain = new BrainyData({
storage: {
type: 'filesystem',
path: './data'
}
})
// Browser Storage (OPFS)
const brain = new BrainyData({
storage: { type: 'opfs' }
})
// S3 Compatible (Production)
const brain = new BrainyData({
storage: {
type: 's3',
bucket: 'my-bucket',
region: 'us-east-1'
}
})
```
## 🛠️ CLI
Brainy includes a powerful CLI for testing and management:
```bash
# Install globally
npm install -g brainy
# Add data
brainy add "JavaScript is awesome" --metadata '{"type":"opinion"}'
# Search
brainy search "programming"
# Natural language find
brainy find "awesome programming languages"
# Interactive mode
brainy chat
# Export data
brainy export --format json > backup.json
```
