Coveo
API service
API that returns the most relevant passages from a company's indexed content so a custom generative AI app, chatbot or agent can ground its LLM answers in trusted, permission-aware sources.
Developer tool
MCP server that connects AI agents to enterprise content indexed in Coveo.
LlamaIndex
API service
Document parsing for LLM pipelines: layout-aware, agentic extraction that turns PDFs, contracts and forms into structured text a retrieval system can index, with an LLM or VLM reading the page when basic parsing is not enough.
Developer tool
LlamaIndex's open-source document parser, published on GitHub for teams that want parsing in their own process rather than through LlamaCloud.
The open-source framework the company is named for: SDKs for building context-aware agents over a company's own data, with Workflows for orchestration.
Workflows is a framework for building multi-step agentic AI applications in Python and TypeScript.
No counterpart
Coveo sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for LlamaIndex yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
Case creation and deflection for support sites: machine-learning models narrow the case classification choices and recommend articles while the customer types, so cases arrive complete and many are never submitted.
Conversational search for websites, service portals and workplace search: users ask in natural language and follow up, and Coveo's Search Agent reasons through each question and answers from the customer's approved content, asking or escalating when it is unsure.
Question-answering model that shows a rich snippet from the best matching content directly on a search results page, so customers and support agents get a direct, non-generated answer without opening articles.
Platform
Enterprise relevance platform with Generative Answering and Agentic AI & Retrieval for grounded answers across support, websites, workplace and commerce.
LlamaIndex sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Coveo yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Agent platform
LlamaAgents lets developers build, run, and deploy document-agent workflows.
Data service
Extracts structured data from complex documents using custom schemas, with field-level confidence scores and citations back to source.
The Index part of LlamaParse: intelligent chunking and embedding that turns parsed documents into a searchable knowledge base for agents.
