Could you build this?
Partial Integrating a gem with Rails for basic search is straightforward, but implementing streamed reranking, index-time label pipelines, and fast hybrid keyword/vector search requires solid search infrastructure expertise.
What it would actually take: The system would be packaged as a Ruby gem interfacing with ActiveRecord and an underlying search engine like Meilisearch, Elasticsearch, or pgvector. The difficult components are implementing an asynchronous index-time labeling pipeline with LLM calls and a streaming cross-encoder reranking service that runs without blowing Rails request latency budgets. Requires deep knowledge of search ranking, information retrieval, and concurrent streaming architectures.
