Extractor

Agent to support specification-based extraction of content from documents. This could include dates, clauses, snippets with complex conditionality, retries using alternatives, and multi-class specifications.

LLMQuerierExtractor(name, cred={}, platform='openai', searchapi='serpapi', statestore='redis', topk=7)

Bases: BaseLLMAgent

Class to do querying of a docset and extracting specific information fields using LLMs Query can be run against a specified set of documents that act as context to constrain the answers
