Multimodal RAG System

Multimodal RAG System

CLIP embeddings with ChromaDB for text, images, and tables. 0.030s retrieval with 60%+ cross-modal accuracy.

The problem

Documents mixing text, images, tables, and equations aren't searchable with a single retrieval pipeline.

  • The answer is in a table on page 12, but your retrieval only indexes text.
  • You maintain two separate search systems: one for prose, one for scanned figures.
  • A user asks a question your docs answer visually, and the bot has nothing to say.

What NEO built

NEO combined CLIP embeddings with ChromaDB for unified text/image/table vector search, then grounded LLM answers in the retrieved multimodal evidence.

Building a Multimodal RAG System That Retrieves Text, Images, and Tables Together

NEO built a multimodal RAG with CLIP embeddings and ChromaDB: 0.030s retrieval, 60%+ cross-modal accuracy, ingestion for PDFs, images (OCR), and tables (schema extraction).

Build a RAG pipeline over my documents that indexes text, images, and tables together with CLIP embeddings in ChromaDB, and grounds answers in whichever modality actually has the evidence.
