I'm using LlamaIndex way more these days, mostly because the big use cases from enterprise orgs is around using their own data in novel ways. it makes much more sense for backend tasks. that said, while there's some clear crossover between the two, i find myself using langchain for things like huggingface embeddings for local models, and other helpers that work well with llamaindex. somewhat akin to a data warehouse and all the techniques and abstractions that go into modeling it for non-technical end users, llamaindex makes a lot of that much easier to work with as a developer. structured and unstructured data can be indexed side by side, and the auto retriever functions they've recently built out work really well once you've got data indexed in a sensible way. our next step is to put a simple UI on top of it all with filters (like a dashboard) that pass metadata filters to the llamaindex autoretriever. these patterns may not be exactly right today, but I don't see any others focusing on this area. just throwing all of your docs haphazardly into an index and calling it a day is no different than tossing all your data into a single database schema without any rhyme or reason, and hoping your dashboards can do 'magic' on top of it.
