The Pipe supports a wide range of file types and offers features such as visual document extraction for complex PDFs, markdown, etc., outputs optimized for multimodal LLMs, auto compression of prompts over your set token limit, and works with missing file extensions, in-memory data streams. It can also work with directories, URLs, git repositories, and more. The tool can be used either via the hosted API at thepi.pe or run locally.
Key takeaways:
- The pipe is a tool that prepares unstructured files, directories, and websites into a prompt-ready format for use with large language models.
- It supports a wide range of file types and sources, including PDFs, Word documents, images, web pages, GitHub repositories, and more.
- The pipe can be used either from the command line or from Python, and it can work with directories, URLs, git repos, and more.
- It uses a variety of heuristics for optimal performance with vision-language models, including AI filetype detection, AI PDF extraction, efficient token compression, automatic image encoding, and more.
