VisRAG and VARAG
These are competitors offering alternative approaches to vision-language model-based RAG: VisRAG emphasizes parsing-free document processing via VLMs, while VARAG prioritizes vision-first retrieval by processing images before text, representing different design philosophies for the same problem space.
About VisRAG
OpenBMB/VisRAG
Parsing-free RAG supported by VLMs
This project helps anyone needing to extract precise answers from a collection of images or visual documents, like PDFs, without losing crucial visual details. It takes your questions and a set of images, then provides accurate answers by directly understanding the visual evidence. This is ideal for researchers, analysts, or operations managers who work with visual data and need reliable information retrieval.

Vision-Augmented Retrieval and Generation (VARAG) - Vision first RAG Engine
This tool helps people who work with documents containing both text and images to quickly find precise information. You input documents like scanned PDFs, research papers, or infographics, and it helps you retrieve relevant text, figures, or entire pages based on your questions. It's designed for professionals who need to extract insights from complex, visually rich documents.
