RAG-Anything Tutorial: Build a Multimodal Retrieval Pipeline for Text, Tables, Equations, and Images in Colab

In this tutorial, we build a RAG-Anything workflow to explore how multimodal retrieval works across text, tables, equations, and images. We prepare a Colab environment, enter our OpenAI API key at runtime, and generate a synthetic report with a chart and PDF.

We convert that content into RAG-Anything's direct content_list format and insert it into the retrieval system. We then configure OpenAI chat, vision, and embedding functions and test naive, local, global, and hybrid modes.
