A new tool called DeepDoc has been developed to address the challenge of parsing various document formats for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, particularly in air-gapped environments. Unlike existing solutions that rely on Java Virtual Machines (JVMs), Python dependencies, or cloud services, DeepDoc offers a single, static Rust binary. This binary can parse common formats like DOCX, PDF, and PPTX into clean Markdown without requiring network access or external installations, making it suitable for secure, self-contained RAG systems.
