LangExtract is a Python library that uses large language models to extract structured information from unstructured text. It provides precise source grounding for each extracted value and interactive visualisation of the results.

Use cases

  • Extract medication lists from clinical notes into a structured format
  • Convert free‑form resumes into JSON objects with standardized fields
  • Parse legal contracts to identify parties, dates, and obligations
  • Transform product reviews into sentiment‑tagged data tables
  • Structure radiology reports for downstream analytics

When to choose

  • You need high‑precision grounding of extracted values back to the original text
  • Your workflow relies on LLMs (e.g., Gemini, OpenAI, Ollama) for information extraction
  • You want a Python‑native solution with easy integration into data pipelines

When to avoid

  • You require extraction without any reliance on external language models
  • Performance is critical on extremely large corpora and you need a compiled solution
  • Your environment does not support Python or the required LLM APIs
