Hi there, Llama Enthusiasts! 🦙

Welcome to this week's edition of the LlamaIndex newsletter! We're excited to bring you updates including our new SemTools CLI toolkit for document analysis, sophisticated document processing workflows, the launch of LlamaIndex Classify for automated document classification, and our upcoming Fullstack Agents Hackathon. Plus, we're showcasing real-world enterprise success stories from companies like Cemex and Jeppesen (Boeing) who are saving thousands of hours with LlamaIndex solutions.

If you haven't explored LlamaCloud yet, make sure to sign up and get in touch with us to discuss your specific enterprise use case.

🤩 The Highlights:

• Document Processing Workflows: Build sophisticated document processing agents with our new comprehensive examples in workflows-py, featuring multi-step workflows, parallel processing, human-in-the-loop capabilities, and robust error handling. Notebook.
• SemTools CLI Toolkit: Command-line agents for document search and analysis that combine Unix tools with semantic search capabilities. Tested on 1000 ArXiv papers with coding agents, proving incredibly powerful for document tasks without custom RAG infrastructure. Blog Post.
• LlamaIndex Classify Beta: New rules-based document classification service for preprocessing documents in AI workflows. Features built-in templates, custom rules, confidence scores, and API integration. Demo Notebook, Documentation, LlamaCloud.
