🎯 Features in Detail

Classification Agent

Identifies document type with confidence scoring:

• Invoice, Receipt, Contract, Report, Email, Form, Letter
• Keyword-based + ML-based detection
• Multi-label classification possible
• Per-document metadata

Extraction Agent

Intelligently pulls structured data:

• Automatic Extraction

  • Emails, phone numbers, dates
  • Currency amounts, URLs
  • Addresses, references

• Domain-Specific

  • Invoice: number, date, amount, vendor, customer
  • Custom patterns via regex

• Named Entity Recognition

  • Persons, organizations, locations
  • Money amounts, dates

Validation Agent

Ensures data quality:

• Format validation (email, phone, date)
• Length constraints (min/max)
• Numeric ranges
• Pattern matching
• Consistency checks across records
• Anomaly detection
• Quality scoring (0-100%)

OCR Engine
