Question 1

What file formats does AnythingMD support?

Accepted Answer

AnythingMD supports various documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX), spreadsheets (XLS, XLSX, CSV), images (PNG, JPG, GIF, etc.), web (HTML), and text files. All files must be under 6MB due to base64 encoding requirements.

Question 2

Why is Markdown better for AI and LLMs?

Accepted Answer

Markdown provides structured content that LLMs can understand more effectively. It preserves document hierarchy (with headings), relationships (with lists), and emphasis (with formatting) while eliminating noise. This leads to better embeddings, more accurate retrievals, and fewer hallucinations compared to using raw PDF or HTML text.

Question 3

What practical benefits does Markdown offer for AI applications?

Accepted Answer

Markdown delivers three key practical benefits: (1) Token efficiency—it uses fewer tokens than HTML or XML, reducing costs and improving performance; (2) Developer integration—it aligns with existing workflows in GitHub, documentation systems, and AI tools that already use Markdown; and (3) Unified processing—it creates a consistent format for all document types, simplifying AI pipeline engineering.

Question 4

How accurate is the conversion?

Accepted Answer

AnythingMD uses advanced document processing to preserve semantic structure and formatting, including headings, lists, tables, and emphasis markers. It cleans up noise while retaining the meaningful content structure that's vital for LLM understanding. Complex layouts may require minor adjustments.

Question 5
