**Recommendation** Choose **Linkup**. This repo’s backend is already a LangChain RAG app: `server/modules/llm.py` builds a `RetrievalQA` chain over Chroma + BM25 with ChatGroq, and `/query` returns source documents from that chain. Linkup fits that shape best because it can be used as a LangChain retriever, has a Python SDK, supports search, fetch, sourced answers, structured output, source/date filtering, and can return raw retrieval context instead of forcing you into a replacement answer model. See [server/modules/llm.py](/home/user/worktrees/attempt-3e7e0617-5c47-4443-b573-4590bb2056d1-cap-2/server/modules/llm.py:17) and [server/main.py](/home/user/worktrees/attempt-3e7e0617-5c47-4443-b573-4590bb2056d1-cap-2/server/main.py:109). The decisive factor is source quality/licensing. Linkup’s docs emphasize production AI search, source customization, security, and endpoints for Search/Fetch/Research. Its Search endpoint returns ranked sources, sourced answers, or structured output, with domain/date controls. Its Fetch endpoint returns clean LLM-ready markdown. Its LangChain docs show `LinkupSearchRetriever`, which is directly compatible with this repo’s stack. ([techcrunch.com](https:
