Tree-Guided Hybrid Search
Traditional RAG systems split documents into flat chunks, losing structure and context. Nia invented a different approach:Document Trees
PDFs are parsed into hierarchical structures — sections, subsections, figures, tables — preserving the document’s logical organization.
Section-Level Indexing
Each section is indexed with its position in the hierarchy, enabling precise retrieval that knows where information lives.
Hybrid Signals
Combines vector embeddings with non-vector signals (headers, page numbers, cross-references) for high recall with minimal context bloat.
Hierarchical Traversal
Agents traverse documents as trees instead of scanning flat chunks, finding relevant sections faster and more accurately.
Why it matters: High recall across large PDF corpora without stuffing context windows with irrelevant chunks. Read the technical deep-dive →

How It Works
1
Index a PDF
Provide an arXiv URL, paper ID, or upload directly:
- “Index https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.12345”
- “Index this SEC filing”
2
Tree Extraction
Nia parses the PDF structure — sections, headers, figures, tables — building a navigable document tree.
3
Chat with Context
Ask questions and get answers grounded in specific sections, with citations pointing to exact locations.
Use Cases
Research Papers
Index arXiv papers for literature reviews. Search across dozens of papers at once, compare methodologies, understand dense sections.
SEC Filings
Navigate 10-Ks, 10-Qs, and proxy statements. Find specific disclosures, compare across years, extract financial data.
Legal Documents
Index contracts, briefs, and regulations. Search for specific clauses, understand obligations, compare versions.
Technical Manuals
Index product documentation, API specs, or internal wikis. Get precise answers with section references.
