Hands-On Vision RAG: Images, Tables & Text

Estimated read time 2 min read

Post Content

 

​ Learn how to build a vision-based RAG pipeline that directly indexes and retrieves images, tables, and text—no captions needed! We’ll compare Cohere’s Embed-v4 API with a fully local ColPali based solution, then plug the results into a vision-language model like Gemini for accurate, context-rich answers. Whether you need a cloud-powered workflow or a private on-prem setup, this hands-on tutorial shows you every step.
