Announcing Retrieval Harness in LlamaParse Index
LlamaParse Index now has a retrieval harness: semantic search, server-side grep, file listing, and direct file reads — all as native tools in the agent loop. Your agent can grep a file, list what's in an index, read past a chunk boundary, or run hybrid search with reranking.

We bought billboards around San Francisco to say three words. We parse docs. It sounds simple. That is the point. AI teams talk about context, agents, RAG, and knowledge infrastructure. But most of the context AI needs is still locked inside documents. PDFs, spreadsheets, slide decks, scans, contracts, and forms. LlamaParse turns messy files into clean context for AI agents. Good retrieval starts with good parsing. Good agents start with good inputs. Learn more: https://llamaparse.ai/?utm_medium=video&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=2026-jun-ooh
