📖 Usage Guide

Model Management

# Download specific model type
docsray download-models --model-type lite   # Fast, lower quality
docsray download-models --model-type base   # Balanced performance
docsray download-models --model-type pro    # Best quality, slower

# Force re-download existing models
docsray download-models --model-type base --force

# Check model status
docsray download-models --check

Document Processing

# Process any document type
docsray process document.pdf --model-type base
docsray process report.docx --timeout 300
docsray process spreadsheet.xlsx --no-visuals

# Ask questions about processed documents
docsray ask document.pdf "What are the key findings?"
docsray ask report.docx "Summarize the conclusions" --model-type pro

Web Interface

# Basic web interface
docsray web

# Advanced options
docsray web --model-type base --port 8080 --timeout 300
docsray web --auto-restart --max-retries 5

API Server

# Start API server
docsray api --port 8000

# API accepts document paths per request
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/ask \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "document_path": "/path/to/document.pdf",
    "question": "What is the main topic?",
    "use_coarse_search": true
  }'

# Check cache info and clear if needed
curl http://localhost:8000/cache/info
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/cache/clear

Performance Testing

# Basic performance test
docsray perf-test document.pdf "What is this about?"

# Advanced testing
docsray perf-test document.pdf "Analyze key points" \
  --iterations 5 --port 8000 --host localhost

MCP Integration (Claude Desktop)

# Configure Claude Desktop
docsray configure-claude

# Start MCP server
docsray mcp --auto-restart

🛠️ Advanced Configuration

Environment Variables

export DOCSRAY_MODEL_TYPE=base           # Set default model type
export DOCSRAY_DISABLE_VISUALS=1         # Disable visual analysis
export DOCSRAY_DEBUG=1                   # Enable debug mode
export DOCSRAY_HOME=/custom/path         # Custom data directory

Python API

from docsray import PDFChatBot
from docsray.scripts import pdf_extractor, chunker, build_index, section_rep_builder

# Process document
extracted = pdf_extractor.extract_content("document.pdf", analyze_visuals=True)
chunks = chunker.process_extracted_file(extracted)
chunk_index = build_index.build_chunk_index(chunks)
sections = section_rep_builder.build_section_reps(extracted["sections"], chunk_index)

# Create chatbot and ask questions
chatbot = PDFChatBot(sections, chunk_index)
answer, references = chatbot.answer("What are the key points?")

Auto-Restart Features

# Web interface with auto-restart
docsray web --auto-restart --max-retries 10 --retry-delay 5

# MCP server with auto-restart
docsray mcp --auto-restart --max-retries 5

🔧 System Requirements

Hardware Requirements

• CPU Mode: Any system with 4GB+ RAM
• GPU Acceleration: CUDA-compatible GPU or Apple Silicon (MPS)
• Storage: 3-16GB depending on model type chosen

Performance Modes (Auto-detected)

System Memory	Mode	Models	Max Tokens
< 16GB	FAST	Q4 quantized	8K
16-32GB	STANDARD	Q8 quantized	16K
> 32GB	FULL_FEATURE	F16 precision	32K

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

# Check system status
docsray download-models --check

# Re-download corrupted models
docsray download-models --force

# Debug mode for detailed logs
DOCSRAY_DEBUG=1 docsray web

Performance Issues

• Use --model-type lite for faster processing
• Enable --no-visuals for text-only documents
• Increase --timeout for large documents
• Use auto-restart for stability: --auto-restart
