annie is anyformat’s AI assistant. You chat with her in plain language. She builds the workflow, runs your documents, and improves the results. You assemble no nodes and write no fields by hand. The name is a wink at the company: any-format → annie. To start, type what you want on the home screen: “Extract vendor, line items, and totals from my invoices”. annie builds a Parse → Extract workflow and opens it in Studio for you to refine.

​
What annie can do

Ask in plain language and annie handles the rest:
  • Build a workflow from a description or a sample document. She picks the fields, types, and nodes.
  • Edit fields and nodes. Add, rename, retype, or remove a field. Add Classify to sort documents by type, Split to break up multi-document files, or Validate to check results against your rules.
  • Suggest fields and descriptions. Ask “what else should I extract?” or “write a better description for this field”. She proposes improvements you accept or ignore.
  • Enrich values with Smart Lookup. She matches an extracted value against a reference file you provide, such as a vendor list or a product catalog, to fill in codes or IDs.
  • Run documents and read back the results. She flags low-confidence values so you know what to review.
  • Improve accuracy. Record the correct values, called ground truth, then ask annie to improve the workflow. She measures accuracy against your examples and keeps only the changes that help.
  • Generate code. She writes a ready-to-run Python, JavaScript, or curl script that calls your workflow from your own app.

annie proposes a workflow and shows you a preview to approve. She reads the sample, picks sensible fields and types, and adds the nodes the document needs.
