The Problem
Why AI gives bad answers from your PDFs
Scanned documents are mostly image data — heavy files full of noise your AI can't actually read. Ellide distills them down to pure text, so megabytes of bloat become kilobytes of context.
What your AI sees in a scanned PDF~0 MB
Image data, formatting, binary junkActual text content
After Ellide distills it~0 KB
Same content. Just the signal — clean text with fixed OCR errors and proper structure. AI reads a Markdown table more precisely than a human reads a photo of a graph.
MB in. KB out. Lose the bloat, keep the context.
Ellide doesn't compress your files — it distills them. We strip the heavy visual bloat and hand your AI the pure, concentrated knowledge in its native language. No lost information.
