New Python tool converts docs sites to RAG-ready Markdown

A new tool, built using Python and the Apify platform, can convert documentation websites into structured Markdown chunks suitable for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. This process, which takes approximately five minutes, extracts relevant content while excluding navigation elements and footers. The tool utilizes a sitemap to identify pages and generates chunks of around 400 tokens, each tagged with its heading path for better context. These processed chunks can then be loaded into a local vector store like ChromaDB for efficient querying. AI

IMPACT Streamlines the data preparation process for RAG systems, enabling faster deployment of documentation-based chatbots.

    <p>You want a chatbot that answers questions about a library's documentation. The hard part is rarely the LLM. It is getting the docs out of HTML and into clean, well-cut chunks: no navigation menus, no cookie banners, no footers repeated on every page, and chunks that keep track…
