Look inside

In this liveProject, you'll turn a document analysis system into a full multi-format processing pipeline built for real enterprise demands. You’ll implement PDF handling, document type detection, and a layered workflow that can process entire collections at once—with structured outputs and responsible content filtering baked in. As you build, you’ll learn advanced pipeline architecture, orchestration patterns, and robust extraction techniques that bring professional reliability to every stage of the process.

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