An agentic document-processing platform that extracts clean, structured JSON from PDFs, scans, and other complex documents using LLMs. Its Prompt Studio gives a no-code IDE to author and test extraction prompts per field, which you then deploy as APIs or ETL pipelines into your warehouse. Built by Zipstack, Unstract is open source under AGPL-3.0 and self-hostable via Docker Compose, with a managed cloud that adds SSO, human-in-the-loop review, and compliance certifications (SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, GDPR).

Pros & cons

  • Open-source (AGPL-3.0), self-hostable
  • Prompt Studio: no-code extraction IDE
  • Deploy extractions as APIs or ETL
  • Cloud adds SOC 2 / HIPAA / HITL review
  • AGPL-3.0 may deter some commercial use
  • Self-host setup is involved
  • LLM costs scale with document volume

    Reducto

    Agentic document parsing and extraction for AI teams, via one API.

    A document-intelligence API that parses, splits, extracts, and edits PDFs, images, spreadsheets, and slides into clean, structured output for RAG and AI pipelines. It blends custom in-house models with frontier ones and bills via usage credits, automatically discounting pages it can parse without the heavier pipeline.

    Strong on complex/nested table layouts
    API-only, no app UI

    Chunkr

    Lumina AI

    Open-source document intelligence API for RAG-ready data.

    A document parsing and intelligence API that turns complex PDFs, slides, Word docs, and images into clean, LLM/RAG-ready chunks. Chunkr runs layout analysis, OCR, reading-order detection, semantic chunking, and schema-based extraction, emitting HTML, Markdown, or JSON. Self-host the open-source pipeline or call the managed cloud API, which includes a free tier of 200 pages with no card required.
