Parse PDFs for RAG Locally with Docling: Rich Tables, No Cloud Upload

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #6c] - The decisions the parser makes on top of the user string, using the document’s profile: dispatch, activations, full schema, three approaches to deciding what fires, the audit _meta block, and a broker-corpus walkthrough The post Dispatching the Parsed RAG Question: Chunk Strategy, Model Tier, Activations, Audit appeared first on Towards Data Science.

June 17, 2026 — Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base, a fully managed retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) service, is now generally available. With Managed Knowledge Base, developers can build production-ready AI agents grounded […] The post AWS Launches Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base for Enterprise RAG Applications appeared first on AIwire.

First came vector databases, then RAG. Now, the next frontier in enterprise AI is taking shape: context layers that give autonomous agents a shared understanding of the business, a vision Databricks is advancing with Genie Ontology. Currently in preview, Genie Ontology automatically extracts business context from enterprise data, dashboards, queries, pipelines, documents, and applications and organizes it into a living graph that AI agents can use to understand how an organization operates. Showcased at the company’s Data + AI Summit, Genie Ontology uses a ranking system inspired by Google’s PageRank to identify the most authoritative business definitions within an organization. Rather than treating all sources equally, it weighs factors including who created the information, how widely it is used, its links to certified datasets and assets, and how recently it was updated before determining which answer an AI agent should rely on, Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi said during his keynote late

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #6a] - Why a user question deserves the same parsing as the document, and how it splits into a retrieval brief and a generation brief before either runs The post RAG Questions Need Parsing Too: Turn the User’s String Into Briefs for Retrieval and Generation appeared first on Towards Data Science.

Increasing context size in RAG systems doesn’t improve accuracy for aggregation tasks—it makes errors harder to detect. In this article, I benchmark retrieval-based pipelines against a deterministic full-scan engine across 100,000 rows and show why computation queries must be routed away from RAG entirely.
