Unstructured: document processing features and setup
A platform for turning documents and unstructured data into input ready for AI.
Tool by the Otomatzia editorial team · source content checked on
Overview
Unstructured is a good fit when you have PDFs, presentations, or scanned documents that need to be converted into text and chunks for a model or vector database. It is a preparation step, not the answer system itself. Before processing a customer file, check table accuracy, page order, and the separation of sensitive documents. Partially extracted text can lead to incorrect retrieval even when the model is powerful.
Features
- Text extraction from unstructured documents
- Preparation of chunks for a model or database
- Processing of common business file formats
Business uses
- Preparing operations manuals for an internal knowledge assistant
- Extracting contract clauses for human review
Getting started
- Upload a few representative files after removing identifiers.
- Compare the extracted text with one manually checked page.
- Check a table, a blurry scan, and a multipage document.
What to check
- Check where the original files and extracted text are stored.
- Do not rely on automatic extraction without reviewing legal documents.
