Products and projects

As CEO and co-founder of LlamaIndex, Liu wrote in September 2025 that the company had found the main challenge for AI engineers to be supplying reliable context from documents such as PDFs, presentations and word-processor files. Liu described LlamaParse as a document processing and workflow platform for agents, with layout-, table- and chart-aware parsing, extraction into schemas, indexing and classification, combined with LlamaIndex Workflows as the agent layer.1

The LlamaIndex README now states that the project's main focus is document parsing and extraction. Alongside the open-source framework it points to LlamaParse, the LiteParse text parser, and the ParseBench and ExtractBench benchmarks for parsing and extraction.3
