Hello r/selfhosted Folks,
Today, I’m excited to share Paperless-AI, a tool I've been working on for automating and enhancing document management in Paperless-ngx using AI! Initially a personal project, it’s now gained traction, and I’m thrilled to share it with the community.
What is Paperless-AI?
Paperless-AI is an AI-powered document analyzer for Paperless-ngx, leveraging the OpenAI API and Ollama (local models like Mistral, Llama, and more). It automates document analysis and tagging to make managing your digital documents even easier.
Features
- 🔍 Automatic Document Scanning in Paperless-ngx.
- 🤖 AI-Powered Analysis using OpenAI and Ollama (Mistral, Llama, Phi 3, Gemma 2).
- 🏷️ Automatic Metadata Assignment:
- Assign titles, tags, and correspondents effortlessly.
- 🆕 Predefine what documents get processed based on tags.
- 🆕 Limit the tags used for assignment for precise control (disables prompts).
- 🆕 Add a special AI-processed tag for easy tracking.
- 🔨 Manual AI-Assisted Mode for hands-on analysis. 🆕
- 🚀 Easy Setup through a web interface.
- 📊 Processing Dashboard for insights.
- 🔄 Automatic restart, health monitoring, and error handling.
- 🐳 Docker Support for seamless self-hosting.
Why Consider This?
Your data privacy matters! With the OpenAI API, your documents are not used for training or other purposes. Prefer to keep things local? Ollama integration ensures you can analyze documents without leaving your server.
