Summary

RubyLLM is the most popular solution for building AI powered applications on Rails - 3k Github stars.

Currently, RubyLLM gem provides multiple features that works only when ActiveRecord is in place. We need to provide Mongoid support.

Motivation

Who is the affected end user?

Ruby developers and teams using Mongoid with MongoDB who want to leverage RubyLLM for AI/LLM capabilities in their applications. Internal MongoDB advocates and partner engineers supporting these customers are also stakeholders.

How does this affect the end user?

At the moment Mongoid users cannot use the mainstream AI solution in their Rails apps. This makes Mongoid less attractive in the actual AI boom era.

How likely is it that this problem or use case will occur?

High likelihood. AI becomes an integral part of applications, so out customer will soon find out this limitation of Mongoid.

If the problem does occur, what are the consequences and how severe are they?

This can be a reason for developer to not choose Mongoid for their new app.
