Understanding the PDF RAG Search Tool

The PDF RAG Search Tool is designed to perform advanced searches and analyses of PDF content while functioning seamlessly in both Node.js and browser environments. With features such as smart chunking, the tool segments documents intelligently, ensuring that AI agents can extract relevant information effectively and efficiently. The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) through this tool empowers agents to perform semantic searches, enabling them to find contextually relevant information beyond mere keyword matches.

Key Features

  • PDF Processing: Enables efficient content extraction and analysis of PDF documents.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works effortlessly in Node.js and browser environments, making it versatile for various applications.
  • Smart Chunking: Allows optimal document segmentation for better search results.
  • Semantic Search Capabilities: Facilitates the retrieval of relevant information, enhancing user interaction with the content.

Installation

To integrate the PDF RAG Search Tool into your KaibanJS workflow, you need to install the KaibanJS tools package along with the required libraries for PDF processing:

For Node.js:

npm install @kaibanjs/tools pdf-parse

For Browser:

npm install @kaibanjs/tools pdfjs-dist

Practical Application in AI Agents

Example Scenario

Consider a scenario in which a team of document analysts is tasked with reviewing a collection of research papers stored as PDF documents. With KaibanJS and the PDF RAG Search Tool, this process becomes streamlined:

  1. Creating an Agent: Define an agent with a clear role and goal to extract and analyze information from PDF files.
  2. Task Creation: Set specific tasks for the agent, detailing what analyses need to be performed on the selected documents.
  3. Collaborative Workflow: Organize agents into teams to enhance collaborative efforts and efficiency in document processing.

Sample Code

Here’s a basic example of utilizing the PDF RAG Search Tool within a KaibanJS environment:

import { PDFSearch } from '@kaibanjs/tools';
import { Agent, Task, Team } from 'kaibanjs';

// Create the PDF search tool instance
const pdfSearchTool = new PDFSearch({
  OPENAI_API_KEY: 'your-openai-api-key',
  file: 'https://example.com/documents/sample.pdf'
});

// Define an agent
const documentAnalyst = new Agent({
    name: 'David',
    role: 'Document Analyst',
    goal: 'Extract and analyze information from PDF documents using semantic search',
    background: 'PDF Content Specialist',
    tools: [pdfSearchTool]
});

// Create a task for the agent
const pdfAnalysisTask = new Task({
    description: 'Analyze the PDF document at {file} and answer: {query}',
    expectedOutput: 'Detailed answers based on the PDF content',
    agent: documentAnalyst
});

// Create a team of analysts
const pdfAnalysisTeam = new Team({
    name: 'PDF Analysis Team',
    agents: [documentAnalyst],
    tasks: [pdfAnalysisTask],
    inputs: {
        file: 'https://example.com/documents/sample.pdf',
        query: 'What would you like to know about this PDF?'
    },
    env: {
        OPENAI_API_KEY: 'your-openai-api-key'
    }
});

Use Cases

  • Research Analysis: Automate the extraction of insights from academic papers, enabling faster decision-making processes.
  • Legal Document Review: Facilitate quick searches within legal textbooks or files to find relevant case law and precedents.
  • Archival Research: Assist historians or archivists in discovering pertinent references within extensive records.

Advanced Applications with Pinecone

For teams looking to scale their solutions, the PDF RAG search can be integrated with a custom vector store using Pinecone. This advanced setup allows for sophisticated embedding and storage of search vectors, enabling even more robust search capabilities:

import { PineconeStore } from '@langchain/pinecone';
import { Pinecone } from '@pinecone-database/pinecone';
import { OpenAIEmbeddings } from '@langchain/openai';

// Setup for Pinecone vector store integration
const embeddings = new OpenAIEmbeddings({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
  model: 'text-embedding-3-small'
});

const pinecone = new Pinecone({
  apiKey: process.env.PINECONE_API_KEY
});

const pineconeIndex = pinecone.Index('your-index-name');
const vectorStore = await PineconeStore.fromExistingIndex(embeddings, {
  pineconeIndex
});

const pdfSearchTool = new PDFSearch({
  OPENAI_API_KEY: 'your-openai-api-key',
  file: 'https://example.com/documents/sample.pdf',
  embeddings: embeddings,
  vectorStore: vectorStore
});

Conclusion

The integration of the PDF RAG Search Tool into the KaibanJS environment revolutionizes how AI agents can interact with complex document landscapes. This tool not only optimizes workflows but also enables teams to derive meaningful insights from dense information quickly and efficiently. By leveraging these capabilities, organizations can enhance their productivity, improve collaboration, and unlock the full potential of their AI systems.
