# Using Smart Data Extraction to Augment Contextual LLM Queries - View the Python Guide

Enhance Large Language Model performance with Apryse Data Extraction Module. Learn how to integrate structured data from document collections to build AI applications. Available in Python on Windows o

This guide discusses how to use the [Apryse Data Extraction Module](/core/smart-data-extraction/smart-data-extraction.md) to enhance Large Language Model (LLM) performance and scope by providing structured data from a document collection as context. This allows developers to build AI applications that integrate with private documents (for example, using Retrieval Augmented Generation).

Currently, this guide is **only available in Python on Windows or Linux.**

While not available in other languages, the content discussed in the guide is applicable across languages and could be adapted to the language of your choosing. Please visit [Using Smart Data Extraction to Augment Contextual LLM Queries](/core/augmenting-llms-with-smart-data-extraction/rag-guide.md) to read further.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/core/augmenting-llms-with-smart-data-extraction/rag-guide/python-only.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
