+# ClarifaiRM
+
+[Clarifai](https://clarifai.com/) is a powerful AI platform that provides vector search capabilities through its search API. DSPy has integrated ClarifaiRM to support efficient text search and retrieval through its specialized indexing and ability to handle large-scale document collections.
+
+To support passage retrieval, ClarifaiRM assumes that documents have been properly ingested into a Clarifai application with the following:
+- Text data properly indexed and stored
+- Appropriate search configurations set up in the Clarifai platform
+- Valid authentication credentials (PAT key) with appropriate permissions
+
+The ClarifaiRM module requires the `clarifai` Python package. If not already installed, you can install it using:
+
+```bash
+pip install clarifai
+```
+
+**Note:** 
+
+Before using ClarifaiRM, ensure you have:
+
+1. Created a Clarifai account and application
+2. Ingested your documents into the application
+3. Obtained your User ID, App ID, and Personal Access Token (PAT)
+
+## Setting up the ClarifaiRM Client
+
+The constructor initializes an instance of the `ClarifaiRM` class, which requires authentication credentials and configuration to connect to your Clarifai application.
+
+- `clarifai_user_id` (_str_): Your unique Clarifai user identifier.
+- `clarifai_app_id` (_str_): The ID of your Clarifai application where documents are stored.
+- `clarifai_pat` (_Optional[str]_): Your Clarifai Personal Access Token (PAT). It will look for `CLARIFAI_PAT` in environment variables if not provided.
+- `k` (_int_, _optional_): The number of top passages to retrieve. Defaults to 3.
+
+Example of the ClarifaiRM constructor:
+
+```python
+ClarifaiRM(
+    clarifai_user_id: str,
+    clarifai_app_id: str,
+    clarifai_pat: Optional[str] = None,
+    k: int = 3,
+)
+```
+
+**Note:** 
+
+The PAT can be provided either directly to the constructor or through the `CLARIFAI_PAT` environment variable. For security best practices, using environment variables is recommended.
+
+## Under the Hood
+
+### `retrieve_hits(self, hits)`
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `hits` (_ClarifaiHit_): A hit object from Clarifai's search response.
+
+**Returns:**
+- `str`: The retrieved text content.
+
+Internal method that retrieves text content from the hit's URL using authenticated requests.
+
+### `forward(self, query_or_queries: Union[str, List[str]], k: Optional[int] = None, **kwargs) -> dspy.Prediction`
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `query_or_queries` (_Union[str, List[str]]_): The query or list of queries to search for.
+- `k` (_Optional[int]_, _optional_): The number of results to retrieve. If not specified, defaults to the value set during initialization.
+- `**kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments passed to Clarifai's search function.
+
+**Returns:**
+- `dspy.Prediction`: Contains the retrieved passages, each represented as a `dotdict` with a `long_text` attribute.
+
+Search the Clarifai application for the top `k` passages matching the given query or queries. Uses parallel processing with ThreadPoolExecutor to efficiently retrieve multiple results.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+```python
+import os
+from dspy.retrieve.clarifai_rm import ClarifaiRM
+import dspy
+
+os.environ["CLARIFAI_PAT"] = "your_pat_key"
+
+retriever_model = ClarifaiRM(
+    clarifai_user_id="your_user_id",
+    clarifai_app_id="your_app_id",
+    k=5
+)
+
+turbo = dspy.OpenAI(model="gpt-3.5-turbo")
+dspy.settings.configure(lm=turbo, rm=retriever_model)
+
+results = retriever_model("Explore the significance of quantum computing")
+```
+
+### Multiple Queries
+```python
+queries = [
+    "What is machine learning?",
+    "How does deep learning work?",
+    "Explain neural networks"
+]
+
+results = retriever_model(queries, k=3)
+```
+
+### Using with DSPy Retrieve Module
+```python
+from dspy import Retrieve
+
+retrieve = Retrieve(k=5)
+
+class RAG(dspy.Module):
+    def __init__(self):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.retrieve = Retrieve(k=3)
+
+    def forward(self, query):
+        passages = self.retrieve(query)
+        return passages
+
+rag = RAG()
+result = rag("What are the latest developments in AI?")
+```
+
+### Handling Results
+```python
+results = retriever_model("quantum computing advances", k=5)
+
+for i, result in enumerate(results, 1):
+    print(f"Result {i}:")
+    print(result.long_text)
+    print("-" * 50)
+
+first_passage = results[0].long_text
+
+num_results = len(results)
+```
+
+### Integration with Other DSPy Components
+```python
+from dspy import ChainOfThought, Predict, Retrieve 
+
+# Create a simple QA chain
+class QAChain(dspy.Module):
+    def __init__(self):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.retrieve = Retrieve(k=3)
+        self.generate_answer = ChainOfThought("question, context -> answer")
+
+    def forward(self, question):
+        context = self.retrieve(question)
+        answer = self.generate_answer(question=question, context=context)
+        return answer
+
+qa = QAChain()
+answer = qa("What are the main applications of quantum computing?")
+```
+
+### Error Handling Example
+```python
+try:
+    retriever_model = ClarifaiRM(
+        clarifai_user_id="your_user_id",
+        clarifai_app_id="your_app_id",
+        clarifai_pat="invalid_pat"
+    )
+    results = retriever_model("test query")
+except Exception as e:
+    print(f"Error occurred: {e}")
+```
+
+**Note:** 
+
+These examples assume you have:
+
+- A properly configured Clarifai application
+- Valid authentication credentials
+- Documents already ingested into your Clarifai app
+- The necessary environment variables set up
