# anyformat

- [Documents in. Data out.](https://docs.anyformat.ai/index.md): Describe the fields you need once. anyformat reads every document you give it and returns structured data, with a confidence and a citation for each value.
- [Introduction](https://docs.anyformat.ai/introduction.md): What anyformat does, how a workflow is put together, and where to go next.
- [Quickstart](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/quickstart.md): Build a workflow in the app and extract data from a document. No code.
- [API quickstart](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/quickstart-api.md): Create a workflow, run a document through it, and read the extracted values with curl, TypeScript, or Python.
- [Connect your agent](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/connect-your-agent.md): Give Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode or any MCP host a set of document tools, in one config block per client
- [Nodes](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/nodes/overview.md): The building blocks of every workflow: what each node does, what it returns, and what it costs.
- [Parse](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/nodes/parse.md): Reads the document and turns it into text, tables and layout that every other node works from. Every workflow starts with one.
- [Extract](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/nodes/extract.md): Pulls the fields you define out of the parsed document, each with a value, a confidence and the evidence it came from.
- [Smart lookup](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/nodes/smart-lookup.md): Resolves a field against a reference file you upload instead of reading it off the page, so a name on the document becomes the code your systems use.
- [Classify](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/nodes/classify.md): Labels the document as one of your categories and routes it down that category's branch.
- [Split](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/nodes/split.md): Breaks one file that holds several documents into pieces, and extracts each piece on its own.
- [Validate](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/nodes/validate.md): Checks the values an Extract node produced against your rules and records a verdict per rule. Deterministic checks are free; AI rules cost 5 credits each.
- [If/Else](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/nodes/if-else.md): Tests a condition on the extracted data and sends the document down a True or a False branch. Free.
- [Slack alert](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/nodes/slack-alert.md): Posts a message to a Slack channel when a document reaches it, with extracted values and rule verdicts filled in. Free.
- [Email alert](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/nodes/email-alert.md): Sends an email when a document reaches it. Coming soon: the tile is in the palette, but it cannot be added to a workflow yet.
- [Edit](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/nodes/edit.md): Fills the blank form it was given and returns the completed PDF. Reads the fields off the document itself; you map nothing by hand.
- [Knowledge](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/nodes/knowledge.md): Indexes documents from completed workflow runs into a knowledge base you can browse, search, and ask questions of, with answers cited back to the page.
- [Workflows](https://docs.anyformat.ai/concepts/workflows.md): A workflow is the set of instructions that tells anyformat what to pull out of your documents. Build it once; it runs on every document you add.

- [Using Studio](https://docs.anyformat.ai/guides/studio/index.md): Open Studio, add nodes to the canvas, connect them, and build workflows that go beyond Parse → Extract.
