### Core Capabilities
+- **100x Faster Ingestion**: New batch insertion system allows processing 5,000+ chunks/second.
- **Hybrid Retrieval**: Search by semantic similarity (Vector), structural relationship (Graph), and time-based recency in a single query.
-- **Ultra-Fast Indexing**: Uses **HNSW (USearch)** for sub-millisecond approximate nearest neighbor search with 95%+ recall.
-- **Hard Durability**: A Write-Ahead Log (WAL) and segmented storage ensure zero data loss, even after a crash.
-- **Smart Document Ingestion**: Built-in recursive, semantic, and markdown chunking for TXT, MD, PDF, and DOCX files.
-- **Privacy First**: Completely local and embedded. Your agent's data never leaves its environment unless you want it to.
-- **Deterministic Replay**: Capture session operations for debugging or syncing memory across different agents.
+- **Ultra-Fast Indexing**: Uses **HNSW (USearch)** for sub-millisecond approximate nearest neighbor search.
+- **Fluent API**: Chainable QueryBuilder for expressive searching and collection scoping.
+- **Hard Durability**: WAL-backed storage ensures zero data loss.
+- **Privacy First**: Completely local. Your agent's memory stays on your machine.
