Document Library in NodlinThe Document Library agent lets you attach documents, ask questions of their content, and receive AI-powered answers with traceable evidence โ a full RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline integrated into Nodlin.
The agent defines seven node types:
- Library ๐ โ Attach documents and ask questions
- Document ๐ โ Attach files (PDF), summarise to Markdown, record in vector database
- Question โ โ Ask questions using the local vector database (RAG/LangChain)
- Answer ๐ฌ โ AI response with confidence level
- Evidence ๐ โ Supporting detail from the vector database with similarity score
- Chunk ๐ โ The actual document content (Markdown) recorded in the vector database
- Entity ๐ท๏ธ โ Person, place, metric, or other entity type extracted from evidence to surface a knowledge graph
How It Works
- Add documents to a Library by attaching files (e.g. corporate earnings reports, policy documents)
- Documents are automatically converted to Markdown and indexed in a vector database
- Ask questions of the library (e.g. “What are the key risks to growth in 2026?”)
- Review answers alongside the underlying evidence and source reference points
Benefits
- Traceable Answers ๐ โ Every answer links to the evidence and source document chunks that support it
- Knowledge Graph ๐ โ Entities (people, places, metrics) are extracted to surface connections
- Confidence Scoring ๐ โ Answers include a confidence level so you know how reliable they are
- Collaborative ๐ค โ Teams share libraries and build institutional knowledge together
