For Engineering Teams
Document Automation for Developers
Document Automation for Developers
Build powerful document processing automations with just a few lines of code. No ML expertise required.
How It Works
From document to database in 4 steps
Integrate document processing into your application in minutes, not months.
Define Your Schema
Specify what data you want to extract using TypeScript or Python types.
Upload Documents
Send PDFs, images, or scans via API or drag-and-drop in the dashboard.
Get Structured Data
Receive clean JSON matching your schema, ready for your database.
Iterate & Improve
Use the feedback loop to refine extractions and handle edge cases.

Capabilities
Built for Engineers
Everything you need to integrate document intelligence into your applications.
SDK First
Python and Node SDKs with full type safety, autocomplete, and IDE support. Build document automations the way you build software.
Simple API
Extract structured data from any document with a single API call. No complex configurations or ML expertise required.
Version Control
Track schema changes, roll back versions, and manage document processing rules with Git-like workflows.
Structured Output
Get clean JSON responses matching your custom schemas. Easy integration with databases, APIs, and downstream systems.
Enterprise Security
