The provided text introduces Docling, an open-source framework designed to transform complex, unstructured documents into clean formats like Markdown and JSON. By converting various file types such as PDFs, spreadsheets, and images into structured data, it allows AI agents and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems to better comprehend enterprise information. The tool goes beyond standard OCR by preserving the hierarchical layout of documents, enabling precise data extraction and more effective text chunking for language models. It supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing it to integrate directly with popular AI desktop clients and established coding frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex. Ultimately, this software serves as a bridge for businesses to securely turn their private data into machine-readable knowledge for more accurate AI responses.
