A self-hosted companion application for paperless-ngx that uses LLMs and vision models to auto-generate document titles, tags, and dates, and to deliver higher-accuracy OCR on scanned documents. It supports multiple backends including OpenAI, Ollama (including reasoning models), Google Document AI, Azure Document Intelligence, and Docling Server.
Use cases
- auto tag and title documents in paperless-ngx with AI
- OCR messy low-quality scans with an LLM
- automatically rename and categorize digitized documents
- run local document OCR with Ollama for privacy
- generate document metadata like created dates with ChatGPT or Mistral
- batch process scanned PDFs into searchable text
- review and refine AI-suggested document classifications
When to choose
- You already run paperless-ngx and want AI-generated titles, tags, and dates for your documents
- You need better-than-traditional OCR on tricky or low-quality scans
- You want to keep document processing local and private using Ollama or a self-hosted Docling server
- You want enterprise OCR options like Google Document AI or Azure Document Intelligence wired into paperless-ngx
When to avoid
- You do not use paperless-ngx and need a standalone OCR or document management tool
- You need a full document management system - paperless-gpt is a companion, not a DMS
- You have no access to any LLM API or cannot run a local model
- You need fully hands-off automation with no human review of AI suggestions
