We built DAN to eliminate the manual grind of pulling data from PDFs, invoices, receipts and email attachments, turning them into verified JSON or Excel via a simple API or web UI. It classifies documents, provides per‑field confidence scores, and lets you verify results before export or webhook delivery. I’d love your thoughts on the workflow—especially the API upload endpoint. Try uploading a sample invoice through the /v1/documents POST and let me know if anything breaks.
