Indexify - Extraction and Retrieval from Videos, PDF and Audio for Interactive AI Applications

LLM applications backed by Indexify will never answer outdated information.

Indexify is an open-source engine for buidling fast data pipelines for unstructured data(video, audio, images and documents) using re-usable extractors for embedding, transformation and feature extraction. LLM Applications can query transformed content friendly to LLMs by semantic search and SQL queries.

Indexify keeps vectordbs, structured databases(postgres) updated by automatically invoking the pipelines as new data is ingested into the system from external data sources.

Why use Indexify

• Makes Unstructured Data Queryable with SQL and Semantic Search
• Real Time Extraction Engine to keep indexes automatically updated as new data is ingested.
• Create Extraction Graph to describe data transformation and extraction of embedding and structured extraction.
• Incremental Extraction and Selective Deletion when content is deleted or updated.
• Extractor SDK allows adding new extraction capabilities, and many readily available extractors for PDF, Image and Video indexing and extraction.
• Works with any LLM Framework including Langchain, DSPy, etc.
• Runs on your laptop during prototyping and also scales to 1000s of machines on the cloud.
• Works with many Blob Stores, Vector Stores and Structured Databases
• We have even Open Sourced Automation to deploy to Kubernetes in production.

Basic RAG

This example shows how to implement RAG on text

Create an Extraction Graph

from indexify import IndexifyClient, ExtractionGraph
client = IndexifyClient()

extraction_graph_spec = """
name: 'sportsknowledgebase'
extraction_policies:
   - extractor: 'tensorlake/minilm-l6'
     name: 'minilml6'
"""
extraction_graph = ExtractionGraph.from_yaml(extraction_graph_spec)
client.create_extraction_graph(extraction_graph) 
print("indexes", client.indexes())

Add Texts

client.add_documents("sportsknowledgebase", ["Adam Silver is the NBA Commissioner", "Roger Goodell is the NFL commisioner"])

Retrieve

context = client.search_index(name="sportsknowledgebase.minilml6.embedding", query="NBA commissioner", top_k=1)

Podcast Summarization and Embedding

This example shows how to transcribe audio, and create a pipeline that embeds the transcription More details about Audio Use Cases - https://docs.getindexify.ai/usecases/audio_extraction/

Create an Extraction Graph

from indexify import IndexifyClient, ExtractionGraph
client = IndexifyClient()

extraction_graph_spec = """
name: 'audiosummary'
extraction_policies:
   - extractor: 'tensorlake/asrdiarization'
     name: 'asrextractor'
   - extractor: 'tensorlake/summarization'
     name: 'summarizer'
     input_params:
        max_length: int = 400
        min_length: int = 300
        chunk_method: str = 'recursive'
     content_source: 'asrextractor'
   - extractor: 'tensorlake/minilm-l6'
     name: 'minilml6'
"""

extraction_graph = ExtractionGraph.from_yaml(extraction_graph_spec)
client.create_extraction_graph(extraction_graph)

Upload an Audio

with open("sample.mp3", 'wb') as file:
  file.write((requests.get("https://extractor-files.diptanu-6d5.workers.dev/sample-000009.mp3")).content)
content_id = client.upload_file("audiosummary", "sample.mp3")

Adding Texts and Files can be a time consuming process and by default we allow asynchronous ingestion for parallel operations. However the following codes might fail until the extraction has been completed. To make it a blocking call, use client.wait_for_extraction(content_id) after getting the content_id from above.

Retrieve Summary

client.get_extracted_content(content_id)

Search Transcription Index

context = client.search_index(name="audiosummary.minilml6.embedding", query="President of America", top_k=1)

Object Detection on Images

This example shows how to create a pipeline that performs object detection on images using the Yolo extractor. More details about Image understanding and retrieval - https://docs.getindexify.ai/usecases/image_retrieval/

Create an Extraction Graph

from indexify import IndexifyClient, ExtractionGraph
client = IndexifyClient()

extraction_graph_spec = """
name: 'imageknowledgebase'
extraction_policies:
   - extractor: 'tensorlake/yolo-extractor'
     name: 'object_detection'
"""

extraction_graph = ExtractionGraph.from_yaml(extraction_graph_spec)
client.create_extraction_graph(extraction_graph)

Upload Images

with open("sample.jpg", 'wb') as file:
  file.write((requests.get("https://extractor-files.diptanu-6d5.workers.dev/people-standing.jpg")).content)
content_id = client.upload_file("imageknowledgebase", "sample.jpg")

Retrieve Features of an Image

client.get_extracted_content(content_id)

Query using SQL

result = client.sql_query("select * from ingestion where object_name='skateboard';")

PDF Extraction and Retrieval

This example shows how to create a pipeline that extracts from PDF documents. More information here - https://docs.getindexify.ai/usecases/pdf_extraction/

Create an Extraction Graph

from indexify import IndexifyClient, ExtractionGraph
client = IndexifyClient()

extraction_graph_spec = """
name: 'pdfqa'
extraction_policies:
   - extractor: 'tensorlake/pdf-extractor'
     name: 'docextractor'
"""

extraction_graph = ExtractionGraph.from_yaml(extraction_graph_spec)
client.create_extraction_graph(extraction_graph)

Upload a Document

with open("sample.pdf", 'wb') as file:
  file.write((requests.get("https://extractor-files.diptanu-6d5.workers.dev/scientific-paper-example.pdf")).content)
content_id = client.upload_file("pdfqa", "sample.pdf")

Get Text, Image and Tables

client.get_extracted_content(content_id)

LLM Framework Integration

Indexify can work with any LLM framework, or with your applications directly. We have an example of a Langchain application here and DSPy here.

Try out other extractors

We have a ton of other extractors, you can list them and try them out -

indexify-extractor list

Custom Extractors

Any extraction or transformation algorithm can be expressed as an Indexify Extractor. We provide an SDK to write your own. Please follow the docs here for instructions.

Structured Data

Extractors which produce structured data from content, such as bounding boxes and object type, or line items of invoices are stored in structured store. You can query extracted structured data using Indexify's SQL interface.

We have an example here
