This section provides practical, hands-on examples demonstrating how to use PageIndex across different scenarios.

Each recipe includes a complete, runnable notebook with step-by-step guidance.

  • 🤖 Agentic Vectorless RAG: A simple, end-to-end agentic vectorless RAG example with self-hosted PageIndex, using OpenAI Agents SDK. The agent performs agentic reasoning over the tree index and retrieves relevant content via auto tool-use.
  • 🧠 Vectorless RAG notebook: A minimal, hands-on example of reasoning-based RAG using PageIndex — no vectors, no chunking, and human-like retrieval.
  • 👁️‍🗨️ Vision-based Vectorless RAG notebook: No OCR; a minimal, reasoning-native RAG pipeline that works directly over page images (also see this blog post).
  • 🔍 Agentic Retrieval notebook: Learn how to use PageIndex Chat API (beta) for prompt-driven, agentic, reasoning-native retrieval.
