Developer outlines RAG pipeline for website-to-Markdown conversion

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has outlined a pipeline for converting website content into clean Markdown, which is more efficient for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems than raw HTML. The process involves using an Apify actor, specifically the `website-content-crawler`, to extract and format content into Markdown.
