DocNest tool preserves PDF structure for better RAG performance

A developer has created DocNest, a tool designed to improve Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems by focusing on document ingestion rather than just retrieval. DocNest preserves the structure of documents, including tables and sections, by parsing them into a Unified Document Format (.udf) before embedding. This approach allows approximately 70% of queries to be answered without engaging an LLM, significantly reducing costs and latency by utilizing methods like BM25 and cosine similarity for factual lookups.

    I built a PDF parser that actually preserves table structure for RAG — here's why it matters

    <p>Every RAG tutorial shows the same pipeline:<br /> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>PDF → extract text → split every 512 tokens → embed → store → query </code></pre> </div> <p>It works fine for blog posts. It completely falls…
