A new research paper introduces PULSAR, a vision-first retrieval system designed for enterprise visual document RAG. Deployed at Mubadala Investment Company, PULSAR uses a pooled, late-interaction index to efficiently search dense documents like pitch decks and board packs. This approach significantly reduces latency and cost compared to traditional OCR and verbalization methods, while maintaining high retrieval accuracy. Since its deployment in March 2026, PULSAR has processed a substantial volume of documents and pages across numerous deals, improving answer-fact recall. AI
IMPACT This system could significantly improve how financial institutions and other enterprises search and extract information from complex visual documents.
