arXiv:2602.14710v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Conversational search (CS) requires a complex software engineering pipeline that integrates query reformulation, ranking, and response generation. CS researchers currently face two barriers: the lack of a unified framework for efficiently sharing contributions with the community, and the difficulty of deploying end-to-end prototypes needed for user evaluation. We introduce Orcheo, an open-source platform designed to bridge this gap. Orcheo offers three key advantages: (i) A modular architecture promotes component reuse through single-fi
The proliferation of advanced conversational AI models necessitates robust, open-source platforms for research and deployment to accelerate development and usability.
A unified, modular platform like Orcheo can significantly reduce friction for AI researchers, fostering innovation and quicker deployment of conversational search systems beyond proprietary ecosystems.
The landscape for developing and sharing conversational search technologies becomes more democratized and efficient, enabling broader participation and faster iteration cycles.
