What it is

LlamaIndex is a freemium platform for developers and enterprises automating document processing and AI workflows. LlamaParse handles more than 50 unstructured file types, including files with embedded images, complex layouts, multi-page tables and handwritten notes. Schema-based, language-model extraction agents convert unstructured content into structured insights without training. Workflows can divide documents into logical sections and classify them using natural-language descriptions and rules. Chunking and embedding pipelines support indexing and retrieval in RAG workflows. Community integrations cover data loaders, agent tools, language models, vector stores, observability and application frameworks. LlamaCloud connectors currently include Google Drive, SharePoint, S3 and Confluence. Free and Starter plans allow five concurrent parse, extract, classify and split jobs; Pro allows 20 and Enterprise 100. The Free plan has no listed price; Starter costs $50.00 per month. LlamaParse is commercial, while LlamaIndex and Workflows are open-source.
