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.

Legit question: By _removing the MIT license_ from the distribution and replacing it with the AGPL, how are you not violating the copyright and subject to a lawsuit?

The MIT license has just 2 conditions. They are pretty easy to read, and the fist one is:

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

By replacing the license, you violate this very simple agreement.

Hi. Thanks for the question. To clarify, the MIT license was never removed or swapped. The license was and still is included in the folder that contains the code from the original project. In the root of the repository, I added the AGPL license for the new code I developed and made sure to explicitly acknowledge that the code in the folder is still under the MIT license.

I’ve also added a direct note acknowledging and linking back to the zerox project.
