Docs - Community - Why Morphik? - Bug reports
Migration Required for Existing Installations: If you installed Morphik before June 8, 2025, our most recent changes affect the way content is stored in the multivector chunks. Please run the
scripts/migrate_multivector_to_external_storage.pyscript before launching Morphik.
We are building the best way for developers to integrate context (however complex and nuanced) into their AI applications. We offer a treasure chest of tools to store, represent, and search (shallow, and deep) unstructured data. End-to-End.
Building AI applications that interact with data shouldn't require duct-taping together a dozen different tools just to get relevant results to your LLM.
Traditional RAG approaches that work in proof-of-concepts often fail spectacularly in production. Cobbling together separate systems for text extraction, OCR, embeddings, vector databases, and retrieval creates fragile pipelines that break under real-world load. Each component brings its own APIs, configurations, and failure modes - what starts as a simple demo becomes an unmaintainable mess at scale.
Even worse, these pipelines fundamentally fail at understanding visually rich documents. Charts become meaningless text fragments. Critical diagrams lose their spatial relationships. Tables get mangled into unreadable strings. Technical specifications with mixed text and visuals? Forget about accuracy.
The result is AI applications that confidently return wrong answers because they never truly understood the documents. They miss crucial information embedded in images, misinterpret technical diagrams, and treat visual data as an afterthought. And performance? Watch your infrastructure costs explode as your LLM re-processes the same 500-page manual for every single query.
Morphik provides developers the tools to ingest, search (deep and shallow), transform, and manage unstructured and multimodal documents. Some of our features include:
- Multimodal Search: We employ techniques such as ColPali to build search that actually understands the visual content of documents you provide. Search over images, PDFs, videos, and more with a single endpoint.
- Knowledge Graphs: Build knowledge graphs for domain-specific use cases in a single line of code. Use our battle-tested system prompts, or use your own.
- Fast and Scalable Metadata Extraction: Extract metadata from documents - including bounding boxes, labeling, classification, and more.
- Integrations: Integrate with existing tools and workflows. Including (but not limited to) Google Suite, Slack, and Confluence.
- Cache-Augmented-Generation: Create persistent KV-caches of your documents to speed up generation.
The best part? Morphik has a free tier and is open source! Get started by signing up at Morphik.
The fastest and easiest way to get started with Morphik is by signing up for free at Morphik. We have a generous free tier and transparent, compute-usage based pricing if you're looking to ingest a lot of data.
If you'd like to self-host Morphik, you can find the dedicated instruction here. We offer options for direct installation and installation via docker.
Important: Due to limited resources, we cannot provide full support for self-hosted deployments. We have an installation guide, and a Discord community to help, but we can't guarantee full support.
Once you've signed up for Morphik, you can get started with ingesting and searching your data right away.
For programmers, we offer a Python SDK and a REST API. Ingesting a file is as simple as:
from morphik import Morphik
morphik = Morphik("<your-morphik-uri>")
morphik.ingest_file("path/to/your/super/complex/file.pdf")Similarly, searching and querying your data is easy too:
morphik.query("What's the height of screw 14-A in the chair assembly instructions?")You can also interact with Morphik via the Morphik Console. This is a web-based interface that allows you to ingest, search, and query your data. You can upload files, connect to different data sources, and chat with your data all within the same place.
Finally, you can also access Morphik via MCP. Instructions are available here.
