Antfly is a distributed search engine designed for agentic workloads and retrieval-augmented generation. It combines full-text search, vector similarity, and graph traversal over multimodal data including text, images, audio, and video. The system supports hybrid search, automatic embedding and chunking, and provides built-in RAG agents with tool calling capabilities. The system utilizes etcd's Raft library for consensus and supports both local swarm mode and managed cloud deployments.
