## 🎯 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
Extract text from images:
- Image preprocessing (denoise, enhance, binarize)
