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.
