Context optimization for AI retrieval

Context optimization is the discipline of removing layout noise before content ever reaches an LLM. The goal is not aggressive compression. The goal is a cleaner ratio of signal to tokens.

Primary use
Reduce noisy HTML and preserve semantic structure so every prompt and chunk carries more useful signal per token.
Recommended flow
Fetch, clean, measure tokens, then hand consistent Markdown to agents or retrieval systems.
Next step
Use the Playground to compare raw HTML against optimized output before integrating the API.

Why optimization matters before retrieval

Embedding noisy boilerplate creates weak vectors, bloated chunks and unstable retrieval. Cleaning content first improves both semantic recall and inference cost.

AIngestor pushes normalization ahead of chunking so downstream systems see a consistent document shape.

What to optimize

Remove repeated navigation, cookie overlays, newsletter walls and unrelated footer matter. Keep the pieces that carry meaning for question answering or tool use.

  • Section titles that anchor meaning.
  • Ordered and unordered lists that express procedures or requirements.
  • Tables that compare capabilities, limits or versions.
