Description

Yochai is a Socratic AI "chevruta" or learning guide, powered by a foundational library of 1,000+ primary sources from the Jewish canon, (and a knowledge graph of 2.5M entities, and 16M entity relationships, 375,000 searchable passages, and 17,000 canonical concepts that we developed around our own ontology). Yochai, uniquely, takes you directly to the sources and pushes you to discover and articulate your own insights about them.we open sourced our knowledge graph so others can build on our foundationhttps://github.com/Lightning-Learning-Studios/yochai-kg

Could you build this?

Partial While the conversational UI and basic RAG pipeline are straightforward to vibe-code, the curated knowledge graph of millions of entities and relationships across canonical Jewish texts requires substantial domain curation.

What it would actually take: A real implementation requires a graph database (Neo4j or Amazon Neptune) integrated with a vector search engine (Pinecone, Qdrant) and an orchestration layer like LangChain or LlamaIndex. The hardest part is the extraction, canonicalization, cross-referencing, and translation of nuanced rabbinic texts (Mishnah, Gemara, Rishonim/Acharonim) into 16M structured relationships. This demands deep domain expertise in rabbinic literature alongside data engineering pipelines.
