From Unstructured Data to RAG-Ready With Docling

SMRTR summary

Docling, an open source tool from IBM Research, transforms unstructured data into formats ready for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows. It intelligently processes documents like PDFs and DOCX files using structure-aware chunking, preserving context while creating optimal segments for AI processing—unlike basic character-count chunkers that produce fragmented text, making it significantly easier for organizations to leverage their vast unstructured data for GenAI applications.
