Document AI that never phones home

WHAT IT SOLVES

Every time you feed a PDF to ChatGPT, there's that nagging worry — contracts, financials, internal docs, all sitting on someone else's server. ParseHawk runs 100% local by default, Ollama as the LLM backend, your data stays on your machine

WHY IT'S INTERESTING

Product taste

One engine, three ways in

API for developers piping it into their stack, CLI for batch nerds, Web UI for non-technical teammates dragging and dropping. Not three products — one product serving three kinds of people

Real craft

Structured JSON isn't an afterthought

Most 'document AI' tools dump a summary and call it a day. ParseHawk was built from commit #1 to spit out structured JSON — fields, types, nested relationships all programmable, ready for downstream consumption

TECH GUESS

Ollama for local LLM backend, FastAPI for the API layer, likely React/Next.js for the web UI, Python or Node for the CLI
