Knowhere

Knowhere is a document parsing API that converts complex files into structured context for AI agents. It reads PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents as well as images, and returns text, tables and images while preserving document structure, page level evidence and links back to the source, so an agent can navigate, retrieve and verify what it was given. The service is meant for developers building agents and retrieval workflows over business documents such as financial reports and contracts. A Python SDK is provided, and a parse call takes a file and returns structured results including a summary, tables extracted with their values, and source citations tied to pages and sections. The site also offers documentation and a free trial through an API key. Pricing is usage based. Parsing costs $1.50 per 100 billable pages, which is $0.015 per page, with no subscription and no minimum spend. Credits are bought as needed and are deducted only when a job completes successfully, so failed jobs are not charged. Standard file size limits are 100M for PDF, 50M for Word, 50M for Excel and 100M for PowerPoint. Customers needing private deployment, dedicated infrastructure, higher volume, priority support or custom service terms are directed to a sales conversation.
