What you can do
Ingest
Upload files to a workspace. LightOn handles parsing, chunking, embedding, and
indexing automatically — files become searchable in seconds.
Search
Hybrid semantic + lexical search with reranking across your document corpus.
Returns ranked chunks with scores, source metadata, and optional page images.
Parse
Convert PDFs, Office files, and images to structured Markdown. Synchronous,
nothing stored — useful for feeding documents into your own pipeline.
Extract
Pull typed fields out of documents using a JSON Schema you provide. Sync mode
for small files, async mode for large jobs.
