PageIndex Flash — fast, open-source tree indexing for long, text-based PDFs
What is PageIndex?
PageIndex is a vectorless, reasoning-based RAG engine that mirrors how humans read, delivering traceable, explainable, and context-aware retrieval, with no vector DBs or chunking. It works in two steps:
- Index — generate a tree-structure index for each document.
- Retrieve — agentically search that tree with LLM reasoning.
To learn more about PageIndex, please see our detailed introduction to the PageIndex framework .
