Mistral has introduced a new API called Mistral OCR, which allows developers to convert complex PDF documents into text files using optical character recognition. Unlike standard OCR APIs, Mistral's solution is multimodal, recognizing and formatting graphical elements within documents. The output is provided in Markdown, making it suitable for large language models that rely on this format for training. This new tool aims to facilitate the use of AI assistants in access to organizational documentation, ultimately enhancing workflow efficiency.
Over the years, organizations have accumulated numerous documents, often in PDF or slide formats, which are inaccessible to LLMs, particularly RAG systems. With Mistral OCR, our customers can now convert rich and complex documents into readable content in all languages.
This is a crucial step toward the widespread adoption of AI assistants in companies that need to simplify access to their vast internal documentation.
