Inspiration

We wanted an AI tool that doesn't just give answers- but backs them up with credible sources and remembers what matters.

What it does

RefRAG lets users ask questions, delivers AI-generated answers with citations, and organizes saved responses into date-time segmented history drawer.

How we built it

We used React, TypeScript, for a smooth frontend, added context-based auth handling, and managed query history with in-memory state logic.

Challenges we ran into

Creating a responsive and intuitive UI for saved history that felt natural, and keeping the history display toggled correctly without disrupting the main UX.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

A clean, interactive interface with working citation tracking and a functional slide-out history panel that feels seamless on both desktop and mobile.

What we learned

How small UX decisions- like visibility toggles and scroll behavior- can drastically change how users engage with AI results and memory.

What's next for RefRAG

  • Persisting history with a database
  • Searchable history by keywords or tags
  • Enhanced citation ranking by source credibility
