Multimodal RAG
Supercharge your search engine.
Integrate a production-ready Search & Reasoning engine via API. Give your software the power to find, extract, and reason across complex documents: diagrams, blueprints, financial tables where standard search breaks down.

HOW IT WORKS
From Raw Document to Precise Answer
You don't build this pipeline. You call it. One API handles everything from ingestion to citation-backed responses.
LightOnOCR-2 • 1B
Ingest & Parse
Bulk-ingest your document base through a single API call. Sync from SharePoint, Teams, or ServiceNow. The parsing engine scores 83.2 on OlmOCR-Bench — beating every system evaluated, including models 9× its size.
NextPlaid • Rust • CPU-optimized
Chunk & Index
Intelligent splitting preserves context. The multi-vector database indexes each chunk with token-level precision finding the exact paragraph in a 200-page manual, not just "a related document.
LateOn • Multi-vector Retrieval
Retrieve & Rerank
Candidate pages are retrieved, then individually evaluated. Out of Pages 3, 4, and 6: "Page 3 relevant. Page 4 Â no. Page 6 yes." Only pertinent content reaches the LLM. Noise eliminated.
Any LLM • Grounded Output
Reason & Respond
Filtered context is sent to the LLM of your choice. Pick any model based on your privacy, cost, or performance requirements: open-source, commercial, or private.
The hardest part isn't building a RAG pipeline. It's keeping it current. We handle every upgrade, every migration, every month. Your integration stays stable. Your product stays ahead.
Why Paradigm
What You Get That
You Can't Build or Buy Elsewhere
You Can't Build or Buy Elsewhere
Every Format
Multimodal Native
Multimodal Native. The engine understands diagrams, charts, tables, handwriting, and complex layouts natively. Every layer of the pipeline : parsing, embeddings, vector indexing, reranking evolves continuously with the best available technology. Each upgrade ships to your product automatically
Flat Pricing
Predictable Economics
No token-based pricing. No cost spike when your customers actually use the product. The engine is infrastructure-based your unit economics stay predictable as you scale.
Full Sovereignty
Privacy & Data Governance
Deploy on your customers' infrastructure cloud, hybrid, or fully on-premise, air-gapped included. Native ACL enforcement syncs permissions from SharePoint, LDAP, Active Directory. Users only retrieve what they're authorized to see
White-Label
Built to Embed
Designed to disappear inside your product. Workspaces isolate each of your customers' data. Collections organize their knowledge base.
