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.

Thanks for the laugh and your feedback! I know that depending on an OpenAI isn't ideal for everyone. I'm considering ways to make it more self-contained in the future, so it’s great to hear what users are looking for.

litellm would be a start, then you just pass in a model string that includes the provider, and can default on openai gpts, that removes most of the effort in adapting stuff both from you and other users.
