Threadr

Threadr is an Elixir-based conversation intelligence system for tenant-scoped chat ingestion, reconstruction, QA, and operator-managed bot runtimes.

The current implementation is centered on:

• Phoenix and LiveView for the control plane and analyst UI
• Ash and AshPostgres for public-schema and tenant-schema resources
• NATS JetStream and Broadway for normalized event delivery and ingest
• tenant-scoped chat persistence, relationship inference, and reconstruction
• ML boundaries for embeddings, extraction, semantic QA, graph QA, and conversation-grounded QA

This repository is no longer organized around the older Python or JupyterBook-style implementation ideas. The active product surface lives under elixir/threadr.

What Threadr Does

Threadr ingests public chat activity from platforms such as IRC and Discord, normalizes it into tenant-scoped events, and persists:

• actors, aliases, and alias observations
• channels, messages, mentions, and relationships
• context events such as edits, deletes, reactions, presence, nick changes, joins, parts, quits, and topic changes
• message links, reconstructed conversations, memberships, and pending items
• embeddings, extracted entities, extracted facts, and dialogue acts

On top of that data, Threadr provides:

• analyst-facing QA, history, dossier, and graph surfaces
• actor-centric and conversation-grounded retrieval
• periodic conversation summaries, cluster review, and relationship recompute
• control-plane APIs and LiveViews for tenant and bot management

Repository Layout

• elixir/threadr: main Phoenix application, event pipeline, ML boundaries, tests, and operational docs
• k8s/threadr: control-plane and operator manifests
• openspec: active and archived spec changes
• cmd: supporting bot and operator binaries

Getting Started

The main app README is here:

• elixir/threadr/README.md

Typical local development starts with:

cd elixir/threadr
./tools/dev_server.sh

If you explicitly want the older local-only compose stack instead of the default Kubernetes-backed dev flow:

cd elixir/threadr
./tools/dev_server.sh --use-compose

Verification

Useful entrypoints:

cd elixir/threadr
mix precommit
THREADR_RUN_INTEGRATION=true mix test test/threadr/messaging/smoke_test.exs
mix threadr.smoke.ingest --tenant-name "Acme Threat Intel" --mentions bob,carol

The integration smoke test exercises the JetStream plus Broadway plus PostgreSQL path end to end. The main app README covers the broader operator, Discord, and deployment smoke flows.
