🧠 RAG - Vault-Wide AI Search

Transform your entire vault into an AI-powered knowledge base! VaultAI now supports RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) using Google's Gemini File Search API.

3. Choose folder to index (use / for entire vault)
4. Click "Sync Now" and wait for completion
5. In chat, click the 🧠 button to enable RAG mode

Features

• Smart Sync - Only uploads new or modified files
• Flexible Indexing - Index entire vault or specific folders
• Citation Support - Responses indicate sources from your vault
• Progress Tracking - Real-time sync status updates

Note: Inspired by Discussion #22 - turning your vault into something like Google Notebook LM!
