    paper StructGPT

    Excited to share my latest AI project!
    I’ve built an AI-powered document intelligence agent using LangChain, LangGraph, and Amazon Bedrock, designed to help users process unstructured PDF files and extract exactly the data they need — fast, accurate, and with full control.
    🧠 Key Features:
    ✅ Upload unstructured PDFs
    ✅ Choose the data/fields to extract
    ✅ Use smart filters like:

    • Keyword search
    • Specific page range
      ✅ Automatically detect data patterns for efficient parsing
      ✅ Convert unstructured data into structured formats
      ✅ Background processing with Celery + cron jobs for load distribution
      ✅ AI-first flow:
    1. Process & detect patterns
    2. Chunk data intelligently
    3. Draft first output
    4. Get feedback → retry or proceed
      ✅ Export in JSON, CSV, or XML
      ✅ Clean, intuitive React UI
      This tool is perfect for teams working with large volumes of documents, from pharma to legal, finance, or compliance.
