Kapa's AI assistant uses a vision model at indexing time to describe images as text, then retrieves these descriptions alongside text chunks at query time, improving answer quality and reducing costs. This approach, which involves describing images once at ingestion and storing them as separate text chunks, outperforms query-time vision and is more cost-effective for large-scale applications.
