    PixelRAG
    June 2026

    A visual-first RAG system that retrieves and reads web pages as pixels/screenshots, bypassing HTML parsing to preserve document layout.

    LEANN
    May 2026

    A graph-based vector indexing system designed for compact, fast, and private on-device RAG.

    Market Position

    Positioned as a disruptor to traditional text-parsing tools (Unstructured, LlamaIndex), using a visual-first approach to improve RAG accuracy by 18% or more.
