Grep or Embeddings? Agentic Search Over Company Documents — George He, LlamaIndex

Why watch

George He from LlamaIndex demonstrates why grep works for code but fails for company documents, explaining how hybrid search (embeddings + keyword search) serves as a compass before using grep and metadata filtering to dig into complex PDFs, tables, and schematics. The talk covers parsing with LlamaParse and LiteParse, production concerns including multi-tenancy and data freshness, and includes a live demo of an agent building a cash-flow table from 135 Alphabet financial filings. Targeted at engineers building production RAG systems.
