Turn messy spreadsheets into AI-ready data, join our webinar on Jan 22nd!

LlamaIndex Newsletter 2026-01-13

Hi there, Llama Enthusiasts! 🦙

This week brings exciting developments across document processing, agent workflows, and community innovation. We're seeing LlamaIndex tools come together in powerful ways—from handling messy spreadsheets and extracting structured data from complex documents, to building intelligent agents that automate tedious form-filling tasks. Whether you're working with resume books, financial reports, or chaotic Excel files, there's something here to help you build production-ready solutions.


📅 Upcoming Webinar

Messy Spreadsheets to AI-Ready Data 📅 January 29th at 11 AM PT

Tired of wrestling with messy Excel files that break traditional parsers? Join our workshop to see how LlamaSheets transforms chaotic spreadsheets into clean, AI-ready Parquet files while preserving all the context that matters. Learn how to handle complex structures like merged cells and multi-level headers, build spreadsheet-specific agents for financial analysis and automated reporting, and turn spreadsheet chaos into structured data with just a few lines of code.

🎉 The Highlights

  • Vibe-Coding Document Extraction: Create document extraction engines to process millions of docs purely through natural language. Define your schema through language, refine it the same way, then deploy and run over arbitrary numbers of documents. Deploy a workflow to extract transactions in under a minute. Sign up here.

  • Intelligent Resume Processing Agent: New tutorial for handling long documents with repeating content. Use LlamaSplit to automatically separate individual resumes from curriculum and cover pages, then extract structured information with LlamaExtract using custom schemas. Orchestrate with LlamaAgent Workflows for confidence scores and structured output ready for candidate matching systems. Check out the full tutorial.

  • Form-Filling Agent by Jerry Liu: Simple but useful app—upload a fillable form and context files, chat with the agent to fill forms automatically. A Claude Code SDK wrapper that's better and faster than ChatGPT/Claude UI out of the box, using LlamaParse to read messy scanned handwriting and documents without hallucinations. Built and powered by Opus 4.5. Try the app | View the repo.


☁️ LlamaCloud

  • LlamaSheets in Beta: We're listening and we want your feedback! LlamaSheets handles messy spreadsheets—merged cells, broken layouts, headers spanning rows—and outputs clean Parquet files with 40+ cell-level features. Load directly into pandas/polars/DuckDB. Drop feedback in the Cloud UI or get started here.

That's it for this week!

Happy building! 🦙
