MinerU transforms complex PDFs and Office documents into LLM-ready structured content, with emphasis on difficult layouts. High-signal document ETL for estimate/spec corpora. Prioritize for construction-like document realities where naive PDF text extract fails. With MinerU, validate output fidelity on your document mix and languages, then budget for retries and post-processing—ingestion quality dominates downstream agent usefulness.
In this catalog it is the RAG option when you need to ground model answers in retrieved company documents. Keep MinerU 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.
