RAG-Anything is an open-source unified framework that extends the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) paradigm to fully multimodal document and knowledge retrieval, enabling systems to ingest, parse, represent, and query rich content that includes text, images, tables, formulas, and other structured or visual elements. Traditional RAG systems are typically limited to text and cannot effectively work across heterogeneous document layouts, but RAG-Anything addresses this by modeling multimodal content in ways that preserve cross-modal relationships and semantic context, often treating content elements as interconnected knowledge entities rather than separate data silos. The system uses a multi-stage pipeline (e.g., document parsing, content analysis, knowledge graph construction, intelligent retrieval) so queries can navigate across modalities with deeper understanding and relevance.
