This Langflow flow creates a document classification system that processes uploaded files and categorizes them using AI. The flow begins by loading a file through the File component, which extracts text content from various document formats. This text is then passed through a Parser component that converts the file data into a format suitable for AI processing.

The processed text flows into an Agent component that acts as the core classification engine. The Agent receives detailed instructions from a Prompt component that defines its role as a Document Classification Agent responsible for analyzing contracts, NDAs, invoices, and other business documents. The prompt instructs the agent to classify documents as either "approved" for automatic processing or "needs_human_review" for manual inspection based on content quality, completeness, and compliance factors.

The Agent's response is then structured using a Structured Output component, which formats the classification results into a consistent JSON schema containing fields like documentId, classification, documentType, storagePath, and reason. This structured data is finally displayed through a Chat Output component, providing users with clear, actionable classification results. The entire system uses OpenAI's language model to power the intelligent document analysis and decision-making process.

The flow can be extended using additional Langflow components to create more sophisticated classification systems. You can integrate vector store components for retrieval-augmented classification that compares documents against stored examples, add conditional logic nodes to route different document types to specific downstream processes, or implement batch processing capabilities to handle large document volumes efficiently. The system can also be deployed as an API endpoint or triggered via webhook integration for real-time document processing from external systems.

The classification workflow supports multiple deployment options through Langflow's publishing capabilities. You can test and refine the flow using the interactive playground before deploying it as a production service. The visual flow design makes it easy to modify classification categories, adjust confidence thresholds, or swap language model providers without rewriting code.

For organizations handling sensitive documents, the structured output format ensures consistent data handling and audit trails. The classification results include confidence scores and reasoning explanations, enabling human reviewers to validate automated decisions when necessary. This transparency helps maintain compliance requirements while reducing manual processing overhead.

The document classification flow represents a practical application of Langflow's component-based architecture, demonstrating how complex AI workflows can be built through visual composition rather than traditional programming approaches.
