# Evaluate document parsers for agent ingestion with ParseBench

> Use ParseBench to run repeatable document-parser evaluations before an agent relies on PDF, table, chart, or enterprise-document output for downstream decisions.

# Evaluate document parsers for agent ingestion with ParseBench

Use ParseBench when an operator needs evidence about whether a document parsing pipeline is reliable enough for agent ingestion. The workflow is to select a parser or model runner, run ParseBench against representative documents, inspect structure-preservation scores, and decide whether the parsed output is safe to feed into retrieval, extraction, or decision-support agents.

## Prerequisites

ParseBench source checkout; uv; API keys for the parser or model pipeline being evaluated

## Installation

Clone the official repository and install the runner dependencies:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/run-llama/ParseBench.git
cd ParseBench
uv sync --extra runners
```

Run a small test benchmark before moving to a full evaluation:

```bash
uv run parse-bench run llamaparse_agentic --test
uv run parse-bench run llamaparse_agentic
uv run parse-bench serve llamaparse_agentic
```

Useful evaluation commands from the upstream README:

```bash
uv run parse-bench pipeline
uv run parse-bench download --test
uv run parse-bench status
uv run parse-bench compare <pipeline_a> <pipeline_b>
uv run parse-bench leaderboard
```
