Guides & comparisons
- Convert documents to Markdown for agents with MarkItDown and Docling (Guide): Turn PDFs, Office files and other documents into Markdown or chunks an agent can read, with Microsoft's MarkItDown for speed and Docling for layout and tables, then expose either one to an agent over MCP.
- Data analysis agent stack (Stack): An agent that answers questions from your data: it queries DuckDB files, a ClickHouse warehouse or Postgres through read-only MCP servers, runs heavier analysis in a sandbox, reads spreadsheets and PDFs, and is tested and traced so you can trust the numbers.
