14.5 File Parsing for Large Documents

Many users require Craft to ingest, analyze, and interact with long-form files including academic PDFs, whitepapers, contracts, and spreadsheets. To handle this, Craft implements chunk-based parsing and document summarization techniques. Large files are broken into semantic blocks that are analyzed, indexed, and cached for fast retrieval. The system also supports real-time Q&A across sections, meaning users can ask Craft questions about any part of a large document without re-uploading or waiting for reprocessing.
