Bank statement extractor
Turn PDF bank statements into validated, categorised transactions.
The brief
Loan officers retype transactions from customers' PDF statements to check income and spending. Build an extractor that reads statements from different banks into validated JSON transactions with categories, and flags rows it is unsure about. Good looks like: field accuracy measured on hand-labelled statements, validation that catches impossible values, and a review list of unsure rows.
What you will build
- Create sample statements in several layouts
- Extract transactions with a vision-capable LLM and structured outputs
- Validate dates, amounts and running balances
- Measure accuracy per field on a labelled set
- Flag unsure rows for review and report cost per statement
