Ragie is shutting down.
Your retrieval doesn't have to.
Ragie winds down on July 19, 2026. If you're looking for an alternative to Ragie, don't rent the next platform — own this one: a custom RAG pipeline in your infrastructure, live in about two weeks.

What your migration takes
The real lesson
You were never subscribing to a feature. You were renting infrastructure.
A managed retrieval API feels like a feature you switch on. It's infrastructure your product depends on — running inside someone else's business, on someone else's balance sheet. When their business ends, so does your retrieval.
Not the first time
This keeps happening.

Carbon.ai shuts down.
Ragie publishes a migration page for its customers.

Next
Not you.
Your pipeline runs in your own infrastructure. There's no vendor left to shut down.
Our thesis
Custom RAG, built in your infra, outlasts RAG-as-a-service.
You own it
Your cloud or on-prem. No one can sunset it.
It's tuned to your data
Built for your documents and queries, not the average corpus.
No re-migration risk
Standard, portable infra — nothing proprietary to retire.
Production-grade from day one
Evaluation and grounded citations from day one.
Feature by feature
Everything Ragie ran, rebuilt as something you own.
Every piece of Ragie's platform, rebuilt to run in your infrastructure.
Custom connectors
Ingestion from every source you use, including systems Ragie never supported.
Custom retrieval methods
Hybrid search, reranking, and agentic retrieval, tuned on your real queries.
Index infrastructure you own
Tenant isolation built into vector, keyword, and graph indexes in your own cloud.
Parser engine
Structure extracted from your real documents, with rules written for your corpus.
MCP & tool integration
Retrieval exposed as MCP tools, running on your infrastructure, not a vendor's.

Ragie vs. infrastructure you own

| Capability | Ragie | Custom RAGAgentic Leaps |
|---|---|---|
| Where your data lives | Hosted in Ragie's cloud | Your cloud or on-prem — you choose |
| Who owns the pipeline | Ragie (managed) | You — the source and infra are yours |
| Tuned on your real queries | Limited | Yes — iterated against your traffic |
| Lock-in | High | None — portable and yours |
| If the vendor shuts down | Your production retrieval goes down with it | Nothing changes — it was already running in your infrastructure |
| Time to production | Fast start, config-bound | ~2 weeks, production-grade |
Migration path
Off Ragie and in production, in about two weeks.
Discovery and architecture in week one, build and cutover in week two — timed to land before Ragie goes away.
Week 1

Questions from Ragie customers
Migrating off Ragie, answered.
How do I export my data from Ragie?
Ragie's paid export ($50) covers document text, summaries, chunks, metadata, and embeddings. Email support@ragie.ai with the subject "Data export request" by July 3, 2026, ahead of the July 19 shutdown. Missed the window? We re-ingest from your original sources — our connectors pull directly from where your documents live.
How long does a migration from Ragie take?
About two weeks — week one for discovery and architecture, week two for build, integration, and cutover.
What replaces Ragie's connectors?
Custom-built connectors for each source you use, including the internal systems Ragie didn't cover. You own the code.
What does a custom pipeline cost compared to Ragie's $500/month Pro plan?
A one-time engineering engagement plus your own infra costs — typically a fraction of managed pricing at production scale. No per-page or per-connector fees, and no subscription to discontinue.
Is Agentic Leaps just another platform I could lose in two years?
No — we're a consultancy, not a platform. We build the system in your infrastructure and hand your team the keys. If we disappeared, your pipeline would keep running.
