Build a Intelligent Document Processor
Extract structured data from any document. An AI-powered system that understands document context, extracts relevant fields regardless of format, and outputs clean structured data ready for your systems.
The Problem
Manual data entry from invoices, contracts, and forms is slow, error-prone, and soul-crushing. But the documents are too varied for traditional OCR.
What You'll Build
An AI-powered system that understands document context, extracts relevant fields regardless of format, and outputs clean structured data ready for your systems.
How It Works
Upload PDFs, scanned images, or photos of documents. The AI identifies document type, extracts relevant fields (vendor, amount, date, line items, etc.), and validates against expected patterns. Results export to CSV, your ERP, or accounting software.

Tools You'll Use
Start Building: Copy This Prompt
Build a document processor that extracts structured data from PDFs and images: **Supported Document Types:** - Invoices - Receipts - Contracts (key terms extraction) - Forms (any structured form) **For Invoices, Extract:** - Vendor name and address - Invoice number and date - Due date - Line items (description, quantity, unit price, total) - Subtotal, tax, total - Payment terms **Processing Flow:** 1. Upload PDF or image 2. OCR if needed (use Claude vision for images) 3. AI identifies document type 4. Extracts relevant fields 5. Validates data (dates make sense, numbers add up) 6. Outputs structured JSON/CSV **UI Requirements:** - Drag-and-drop upload area - Progress indicator during processing - Side-by-side view: original doc | extracted data - Edit extracted fields before confirming - Export to CSV or JSON - Batch processing for multiple files **Error Handling:** - Flag low-confidence extractions - Highlight fields that need human review - Log extraction quality metrics **Tech Stack:** - Next.js frontend - Claude API with vision for document understanding - pdf-parse for PDF text extraction - Supabase to store processed documents - React-pdf for document preview **Start Simple:** Build for invoices only first. Support just PDF (not images). Add image support and other document types later.
