# LLMind — the file enrichment engine

The file is the index.

Make any file LLM-ready.

LLMind is a file enrichment engine that embeds a signed, tamper-evident semantic layer inside the file itself — so any AI tool can read it natively, no vector database required.

## Install in 10 seconds

```
pipx install 'llmind-cli[all]'
llmind enrich myfile.pdf
```

## Who is this for?

### Developers

Give your AI agent, MCP server, or RAG pipeline files it can actually read — without a vector DB.

[Install the CLI](https://llmind.org/docs/install/) [Star on GitHub](https://github.com/dmitryrollins/LLMind)

### Teams

Portable, signed semantic metadata across your DAM, your publishing pipeline, and any AI tool downstream.

### Individuals

Enrich your files once. ChatGPT, Claude, NotebookLM, Cursor all read the same layer — no re-upload, no re-parse.

## What LLMind is NOT

-   Not a parser or IDP tool — not a replacement for LlamaParse, Docling, Reducto, Textract, Unstructured.io, Mistral OCR, or Azure/Google Document AI.
-   Not a RAG framework — not a LlamaIndex/LangChain alternative.
-   Not a vector database — not a Pinecone/Weaviate/Qdrant/Chroma alternative.
-   Not enterprise search — not a Glean/Dropbox Dash/Notion AI alternative.

LLMind **is** a portable, signed semantic layer that sits inside a file's XMP metadata, so any AI tool — from a Claude agent to an MCP server to a custom RAG pipeline — reads the file like it's a Markdown document, without re-parsing or re-OCR'ing each time.

## Open spec

The [LLM-Ready File Specification (LRFS)](https://llmind.org/spec/) defines the XMP namespace, signing scheme, and layer format. Open, versioned, stable at `https://llmind.org/ns/1.0/`.
