Today we transformed Abby from a capable AI assistant into an OHDSI domain expert backed by the largest curated outcomes research knowledge base we're aware of in any open-source platform. By the end of the day, Abby's ohdsi_papers ChromaDB collection held 79,070 SapBERT-embedded vectors spanning peer-reviewed research papers, the Book of OHDSI, HADES package documentation, and a decade of practitioner Q&A from the OHDSI forums.

Building Abby: The AI That Read Every OHDSI Paper, Every HADES Vignette, and 19 Medical Textbooks

Today we gave Parthenon's AI assistant a research library that most outcomes researchers would envy. Abby — our context-aware, privacy-preserving AI — now has 115,000+ SapBERT-embedded vectors spanning 2,258 peer-reviewed OHDSI papers, the complete Book of OHDSI, documentation from 30 HADES R packages, a decade of community forum Q&A, and 19 medical reference textbooks covering epidemiology, biostatistics, pharmacology, pathology, and clinical medicine.

This post tells the full story: why we built Abby, how the architecture works, what we harvested, what we learned about data quality in knowledge bases, and where we're headed next.
