Today, Contextual AI announces the Document Parser for RAG with our separate /parse component API, enabling enterprise AI agents to navigate and understand large and complex documents with superior accuracy and context awareness.

The document parser excels at handling enterprise documents through three key innovations: document-level understanding that captures section hierarchies across hundreds of pages, minimized hallucinations with confidence levels for table extraction, and superior handling of complex modalities such as technical diagrams, charts, and large tables. In testing with SEC filings, including document hierarchy metadata in chunks increased the equivalence score from 69.2% to 84.0%, demonstrating significant improvements in end-to-end RAG performance.

Get started today for free by creating a Contextual AI account. Visit the Components tab to use the Parse UI playground, or get an API key and call the API directly. We provide credits for the first 500+ pages in Standard mode (for complex documents that require VLMs and OCR), and you can buy additional credits as your needs grow. To request custom rate limits and pricing, please contact us. If you have any feedback or need support, please email parse-feedback@contextual.ai.
