Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll build an intelligent document analyzer that frees your team from hours of tedious manual review. You’ll use OpenAI’s API to extract entities, classify document types, and generate crisp summaries—all from raw, unstructured text. Along the way, you’ll practice prompt-engineering techniques that turn sprawling client documents into clean, structured insights your analysts can act on. By the end, you’ll have a working Google Colab notebook that automatically identifies what a document is about, when key events occurred, and whether it deserves immediate attention.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
