RAGFlow is a retrieval-augmented generation engine built around deep document understanding, and it has grown into an agent platform sitting on top of that. It still handles the messy parts of RAG that other frameworks hand-wave past: PDFs with tables, slides, spreadsheets, scanned images, mixed-language docs, now with MinerU and Docling parsing.
