- notes
- Named to Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies 2025. Contextual Chunking reduces retrieval failures by 35% on average. Benchmark-leading table parsing (overall table score 0.844). Distinct from Vectara: Unstructured is a pure data-prep layer and does not manage vector indexes or handle retrieval queries.
