I've been working on this for about a year and a half, and decided to finally open source it.
I wanted an intelligent document processing SaaS (Document AI, Form Recognizer, the various PDF-to-JSON tools) that you could run on your own hardware.
The interesting bits:
- Three-tier extraction: PyMuPDF for digital PDFs (~50ms), Docling layout-only for scanned-but-readable, Docling+OCR for the rough stuff. Auto-fallback based on extracted character count.
- Smart templates use vector similarity (Qdrant) to classify docs, then LLM extraction for fields — no regex, so layout drift doesn't break templates.
- Local Ollama or Azure OpenAI, switchable per-user.
Built on top of Cole Medin's local-ai-packaged. Apache 2.0.
I’m working on a tool to automate manual document workflows, specifically for industries like manufacturing where accounting paperwork is still a manual burden.
The workflow: Upload doc → LLM extracts structured data → Generate new doc from template.
It’s API-first, includes webhooks, and is built to be self-hosted/self-provisioned for privacy. Still very much a WIP, but looking for feedback on the feature set and the extraction accuracy.
Working on either a self hosted, or self "provisioned" document extraction platform. Trying to make it as flexible as possible, so businesses
I worked with manufacturing companies, and the amount of manual document extraction and manipulation, particularly from accounting documents, was always a large burden.
The goal is upload a document → extract structured fields via LLM → generate new documents from templates. Has a dashboard, with an API, along with a webhook, very much a WIP.
