Next.js 15 + React 19's App Router shifts rendering responsibility from the client to the server. use cache ties caching logic directly to data functions instead of scattering it across fetch options. Both DaoDao and NobodyClimb chose this stack for very practical reasons.

No Provider, no reducer — global state in just a few lines. NobodyClimb uses it for auth and UI state, paired with TanStack Query for server state.
For complex multi-hop questions, a single RAG search isn't enough. Agentic RAG lets the LLM evaluate whether retrieved results are sufficient — if not, it rewrites the query and searches again, forming a ReAct loop.
