What it does
I got tired of feeding messy PDFs to my AI, so I built Ragify. Ragify turns PDFs into clean, structured text in seconds. You choose the format: Markdown, JSON, HTML, and more. Headings, tables, and paragraphs are properly detected and organised. It helps if you run selfhosted LLMs, RAG pipelines, or any automation that needs clean data from PDFs. No more manual fixing. No more garbage in, garbage out. Use it from the browser or via API. Works with n8n, Python scripts, or any HTTP tool.
Convert any PDF to Markdown, JSON, HTML, Plain Text, Tagged PDF or Annotated PDF. State-of-the-art, fully configurable, instant results.
Upload any PDF and get clean, structured output in seconds. Tables, headings, images — all preserved. Built for developers and AI pipelines. { "number of pages": 12, "title": "Q3 Financial Report 2026", "kids": [ { "type": "heading", "level": "Title", "content": "Q3 Financial Report", "page_number": 1 }, { "type": "table", "content": "Revenue | €2.4M\nGross margin | 68%", "page_number": 3 }, { "type": "paragraph", "content": "Year-over-year growth reached 34%...", "page_number": 3 } ] } Results in seconds 10+ parser options 6 output formats Files deleted after 30 days Free · 50 pages/mo Why Ragify Upload, configure with one click, download.

Open-source Rule-based PDF parser for RAG2024 · github.com · ▲293The PDF parser is a rule based parser which uses text co-ordinates (boundary box), graphics and font data. The PDF parser works off text layer and also offers a OCR option to automatically use OCR if there are scanned pages in your PDFs. The OCR feature is based off a modified version of tika which uses tesseract underneath. The PDF Parser offers the following features: * Sections and subsections along with their levels. * Paragraphs - combines lines. * Links between sections and paragraphs. * Tables along with the section the tables are found in. * Lists and nested lists. * Join content…
Built a tool solve the nightmare of chunking tables in PDF vs. MarkdownNov 2025 · github.com · ▲15Hey HN, solo dev here. After years of frustration with how LLMs handle complex documents, especially PDFs with tables, I decided to build a solution myself. My approach uses a Markdown conversion step to preserve the table structure, which seems to work surprisingly well for chunking. This little parser is the first public piece of a much larger, privacy-focused AI platform I'm building. I'm pretty much running on fumes financially, so any feedback, critique, or support is massively appreciated. Happy to answer any questions about the approach!
- RIRAG in 3 Lines of PythonDec 2025 · pypi.org · ▲41
Got tired of wiring up vector stores, embedding models, and chunking logic every time I needed RAG. So I built piragi. from piragi import Ragi kb = Ragi(\["./docs", "./code/\*\*/\*.py", "https://api.example.com/docs"\]) answer = kb.ask("How do I deploy this?") That's the entire setup. No API keys required - runs on Ollama + sentence-transformers locally. What it does: - All formats - PDF, Word, Excel, Markdown, code, URLs, images, audio - Auto-updates - watches sources, refreshes in background, zero query latency - Citations - every answer includes sources…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
