Tool profile
A data preparation platform for turning messy documents and files into LLM-ready structured data.
Document ingestion
Unstructured is useful for teams whose AI bottleneck is document ingestion and transformation rather than model access alone. It fits well when the hard part is cleaning, parsing, enriching, and routing unstructured data into downstream RAG, search, or agent systems.
Quick fit
Editorial take
Unstructured should be judged against other ingestion and parsing layers based on whether the team's main challenge is getting messy documents into a reliable downstream AI pipeline. It is strongest when document preparation is the hard part of the system, not when the problem is model choice or retrieval ranking.
