LlamaIndex

In this catalog it is the RAG option when you need to ground model answers in retrieved company documents. Keep LlamaIndex on the observe/propose side of the loop: useful signals and drafts, with human or policy authority still required before anything irreversible runs.

Ingest parsers chunk and embed content into a store; at query time the pipeline retrieves, optionally reranks, and feeds context into the LLM.

1. Ingest a sample document through the product’s parser/index path.
2. Embed and store chunks in the configured vector backend.
3. Ask a grounded question; confirm citations/hits come from the fixture.
4. Wire the agent host to retrieve before it proposes actions.

• Use when: LlamaIndex is a data framework connecting LLMs to private data: ingestion, indexing, retrieval, and agentic RAG workflows, with a large connector ecosystem (open-core) matches the bottleneck and you specifically need to ground model answers in retrieved company documents.
• Skip when: another pack already covers the need with less ops surface, or LlamaIndex would become a second place people retype truth.
• Prefer instead: compare Haystack, Qdrant, Docling, LangGraph before locking the cell.

• Ops: confirm license, hosting, and release cadence for LlamaIndex (run-llama/llama_index) before relying on it in a live corridor.
• Integration: bad credentials, scopes, or schema drift produce empty retrievals or runaway tool/model spend without an obvious UI alarm.
• Scope: RAG components support agents; they are not the company ledger or the approval authority.
