I'm working on my own SaaS document management system that is easy-to-use, affordable and fully automated. Basically a black hole, throw a scan in or wait for emails to come it, it will name, tag and categorize it. It will also attempt to retrieve most important data such as invoice amount, customer numbers, so that you can easily distinguish and find the documents youre looking for. It comes with a chat feature so that you can ask things such as "what was my liability insurance number?" and it'll answer from the knowledge of your documents. I find this pretty useful, recently I was at an airport and forgot my flight number. I just asked what was my flight number and it retrieved that information from my recent documents easily. Integration with third party APIs and agnostic backend configuration for LLM and OCR is in progress. It works with Google Cloud Vision OCR and OpenAI at the moment.
Where can I sign up to track progress?
This sounds like exactly the future I envisioned. I take great care manicuring my paperless instance such that when the day arrives, the LLM integration can work its magic best.
That said, open source is absolutely table stakes in this, to me. From the documents I have in the system one could trivially impersonate me. Perhaps even as good as clone me. So sending all that off to random internet corporations, no can’t do.
That's unfortunately why I think Microsoft and Google are going to be the first ones to actually achieve this future. They're the only organizations well known enough that enterprise might trust them with this kind of thing.
We may want to get in touch with each other. We have an Open Core document management platform that runs in AWS; I'm not sure about your roadmap, but there may be something there that's of use: https://github.com/formkiq/formkiq-core
