Multimodal Report Generation with LlamaParse

Llama Index Report Generation Agent Overview - Llama Index introduces a report generation agent capable of creating reports with interspersed text and images from complex PDFs like research papers [1] - The agent leverages Llama Parse to extract text and images, including charts, from PDFs [2][3][4][5] - The workflow involves creating chat history, retrieving document chunks, and generating reports [6] - The agent can switch between document retrieval and chunk retrieval, facilitating comparisons across multiple research papers [16][17] Technical Implementation - Llama Parse is initialized with "PAS with agent mode" to extract high-resolution OCR, full-page screenshots, and extracted charts [8][9] - A structured LLM, using a Pydantic model called "report output," defines the structure of the report, allowing for text and image blocks [11][12] - The agent uses a system prompt and a structured LLM to generate the report [12][13] - The agent utilizes chunk retriever and document retriever tools [14] Application and Use Cases - The generated reports can analyze specific topics, such as MetaGPT experimental techniques, with relevant images embedded [7][15] - The technique is applicable to research papers, presentations, quarterly reports, and other documents with charts and figures [16]
