## Summary

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) by providing additional context for more accurate responses. This guide demonstrates building a multimodal RAG system that processes not only text but also tables and images from documents. Using the Unstructured library and GPT-4.1, it outlines parsing PDFs, summarizing content, creating embeddings, and storing vectorized data in ChromaDB. The approach aims to improve document understanding by integrating various content types, addressing accuracy, stability, and other potential risks.
