This episode discusses the limitations of traditional Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems in handling complex, multimodal documents, such as PDFs with diagrams or technical manuals. These systems often fail in production due to their fragile pipelines, which cobble together multiple tools for text extraction, OCR, and embedding, leading to a loss of crucial visual and spatial information. This inaccuracy, coupled with the high cost of reprocessing large documents, makes scaling RAG challenging. The document introduces Morphic, an AI-native toolset designed to address these issues. Morphic offers first-class support for unstructured and multimodal data, using specialized search techniques that understand visual content. It also employs cache augmented generation, allowing AI models to index documents once and retain that understanding, significantly reducing processing time and costs. Furthermore, Morphic facilitates the creation of domain-specific knowledge graphs and uses a natural language rules engine for data ingestion and querying, aiming to simplify the development process. For beginners, Morphic offers a hosted option and a generous free tier, with transparent pay-as-you-go pricing. Developers can utilize a Python SDK or REST API, while a web console provides a no-code interface. The core product is source-available under a business source license, free for personal use and commercial use up to $2,000 in gross revenue per month. A crucial update requires running a migration script for significant query performance improvements. Ultimately, Morphic aims to provide a more accurate, scalable, and cost-effective solution for building AI applications that can truly understand complex documents.
