LlamaIndex

Framework for connecting LLMs and agents to your own documents and data.

Best for

Retrieval-heavy applications where the hard part is getting your own documents and data into an agent reliably.

Avoid if

Your agent does not read private data, in which case most of the framework goes unused.
