Context management
LlamaCloud (LlamaParse / LlamaExtract / Index)
Hosted document parsing, extraction and indexing platform for building document agents
Commercial
What it is
Our note
LlamaCloud sells the expensive half of RAG: parse, extract and index, with confidence-scored extraction plus citations and managed chunking and embedding. Credit pricing makes page-level parsing cost explicit, which is where agent context budgets usually blow up. Its own pricing page states the hosted platform is commercial and not open source.
