# Introduction

A powerful set of scripts for standardizing large collections of books, papers + other published documents.

We use a combination of local + cloud OCR, Vision Language Models (VLM) and Large Language Models (LLM) to extract and intelligently generate metadata + filenames.

This project is a work-in-progress, as both a tool and a learning project for AI-led agentic development.

<Note>
  This project is a work-in-progress:

  * Back up your PDFs
  * Run the scripts iteratively on a small subset of your collection before scaling up
  * Monitor your cloud API costs: Displayed costs are only estimates
