This Langflow flow creates a document processing system that extracts structured information from contracts and outputs it in a standardized format. The system transforms unstructured legal documents into machine-readable data by identifying key contracting company information and formatting it for database storage. Langflow lets you build this extraction pipeline visually with minimal coding, connecting components through a drag-and-drop interface.

How it works

This Langflow flow creates a document processing system that extracts structured information from contracts and outputs it in a standardized format. The flow reads contract files, processes them through an AI agent with specific extraction instructions, and then formats the results into structured data. The system is designed to identify and extract key contracting company information from legal documents.

The flow uses a File component to load contract documents, which then feeds into an Agent component powered by OpenAI's language model. The agent receives detailed instructions through a Prompt component that specifies exactly what information to extract from contracts, including legal names, document numbers, addresses, contact information, and representative details. The agent is configured to extract this data and format it according to specific requirements, including generating SQL INSERT commands for database storage.

The extracted information passes through a Structured Output component that validates and formats the data according to a predefined schema with eight specific fields for company information. This structured data is then displayed through a Chat Output component, ensuring the results are properly formatted and accessible. The flow maintains data integrity by using schema validation and provides a reliable pipeline for converting unstructured contract text into structured, database-ready information.

Example use cases

  • Extract vendor information, payment terms, and key dates from procurement contracts for automated contract management systems

  • Process legal agreements to identify parties, obligations, and termination clauses for compliance tracking

  • Parse service contracts to capture billing rates, scope definitions, and performance metrics for project management databases

  • Extract insurance policy details including coverage amounts, deductibles, and beneficiary information for risk management platforms

  • Process employment contracts to capture salary information, benefits, and terms for HR information systems

The flow can be extended using other Langflow components to handle more complex scenarios. You could add text splitting for large documents, implement vector search for retrieving relevant contract sections, or chain multiple extraction flows together. Additional components like API Request nodes can push extracted data directly to CRM or ERP systems, while Save File components can export results to CSV or JSON formats for further analysis.

The system supports various document formats through robust parsing capabilities and can be deployed as an API endpoint using Langflow's webhook functionality. For production environments, you can integrate different language models or add observability features for monitoring extraction accuracy. The visual interface makes it easy to modify extraction schemas, adjust prompts, or swap components as requirements change, while the underlying open-source framework provides flexibility for custom integrations.
