I Built a PDF-to-JSON AI in Rust + Flutter – Here's How (Waitlist Open)

Hey Dev.to! I'm Asimwe Landry, a solo maker building DocFlow AI — an AI-powered PDF engine that merges, splits, restructures, and lets you ask questions about any financial document.


The Problem

Accountants lose 3–5 hours/week wrangling PDFs:

  • Merging 10 invoices into one report
  • Splitting 1099s by vendor
  • Fixing broken layouts
  • Manually searching for tax fields

"I spent 2 hours fixing one 1099 PDF last week." – Real accountant, NYC


The Fix: DocFlow AI

// Real Rust + Grok API
let result = docflow
  .merge(&[pdf1, pdf2, pdf3])?
  .split_by_vendor()?
  .restructure(&schema)?
  .query("What’s total revenue in Q3?")?;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Does it all:

  • Merge multiple PDFs
  • Split by page, vendor, or date
  • Restructure messy tables into clean JSON
  • Ask questions in plain English → instant answers

No manual entry. No CSV hell.
