Tutorial reel
Long-form video tutorials for every part of lilbee. Each clip is the demo from the homepage, expanded with a longer caption explaining what you're seeing and why it matters. Videos are silent; play at your own pace.

First run
The wizard pulls a chat model and an embedder in parallel; you can start using lilbee while they download.
TUI tour
A one-minute sweep through every TUI screen.
Chat with cited answers
Ask the Crown Vic manual. Every answer cites a page; inline [N] markers open a source preview at the exact passage.
Add files
/add <path> ingests a file. The Task Center shows live progress; ask once it lands.
Crawl a URL
/crawl <url> fetches a page or a small site into your library, then it's chat with citations like anything else.
Model catalog
Browse Hugging Face Hub inside lilbee. Tab between roles, toggle grid / list, search, open model info, pull live.
Unsupported architectures, surfaced before the download
lilbee tags GGUFs the bundled llama.cpp can't load with an unsupported pill before you pull. Press f to hide them. Clip searches for gemma-4, an architecture upstream hasn't shipped yet.
Settings
Tabbed editor for every knob: Models, Ingest, Generation, Retrieval, Display, Crawling, API-Keys, System.
Agent: code (lilbee talking to lilbee)
An agent indexes lilbee's own source through lilbee's MCP server, then answers with src/lilbee/.../file.py:LINE citations.
Agent fine-tunes lilbee mid-conversation
Turn 1 answers in outline. The user asks for source; the agent fine-tunes lilbee's retrieval, re-searches, and answers in full function bodies with file.py:L<start>-L<end> citations. Runs on a local 8B model.
Agent: PDF
The agent finds cv-manual.pdf, delegates indexing to lilbee-worker, then answers with page citations.
extras
Agent: live indexing
A coding agent indexes a small Godot 4 subset, then searches and answers method-by-method against the local files.
extras
Agent: Godot codegen against the full class reference
The agent indexes Godot 4's full 810-file class reference, then writes a procedural level generator with every API call backed by a godot-classes/<Class>.xml:line citation. Benchmark vs no-RAG: 4 hallucinated APIs → 0.

Command surface
Ctrl+P for the palette, ? for the cheat sheet, /help for the slash-command catalog.
