## 🌟 Key Features
### 🍭 "Quality in, quality out"
Deep document understanding-based knowledge extraction from unstructured data with complicated
formats.
Finds "needle in a data haystack" of literally unlimited tokens.
### 🍱 Template-based chunking
Intelligent and explainable.
Plenty of template options to choose from.
### 🧩 Knowledge Compilation
Compile content at the document and dataset levels into structured knowledge artifacts.
Use compilation templates to generate Wikis, Graphs, Trees, PageIndex, Mind Maps, Timelines, and Skills for different knowledge organization and reuse needs.
Configure compilation models and processing rules, and view, update, and regenerate knowledge artifacts.
### 🧠 Agentic Retrieval
Perform multi-step retrieval for complex questions: the model analyzes the question and, when needed, breaks it down, retrieves knowledge, and verifies evidence.
Gather more complete context through multiple rounds of retrieval and reasoning to help generate well-grounded answers.
Choose Low, Medium, High, or Ultra thinking modes to control retrieval and reasoning depth according to question complexity.
### 🌱 Grounded citations with reduced hallucinations
Visualization of text chunking to allow human intervention.
Quick view of the key references and traceable citations to support grounded answers.
### 🍔 Compatibility with heterogeneous data sources
Supports Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, Excel spreadsheets, TXT files, images, PDFs, scanned copies, structured data, web pages, and more.
### 🛀 Automated and effortless RAG workflow
Streamlined RAG orchestration catered to both personal and large businesses.
Configurable LLMs as well as embedding models.
Multiple recall paired with fused re-ranking.
