Documind is an open-source tool that turns documents into structured data using AI.

What it does:

- Extracts specific data from PDFs based on your custom schema - Returns clean, structured JSON that's ready to use - Works with just a PDF link + your schema definition

Just run npm install documind to get started.

Got excited about an open-source tool doing this.

Alas, i am let down. It is an open-source tool creating the prompt for the OpenAI API and i can't go and send customer data to them.

I'm aware of https://github.com/clovaai/donut so i hoped this would be more like that.

Hi. I totally get the concern about sending data to OpenAI. Right now, Documind uses OpenAI's API just so people could quickly get started and see what it is like, but I’m open to adding options and contributions that would be better for privacy.
