# Extraction Use Cases

Explore how Mindee helps you extract the data you need from different types of documents.\
You can either:

* **Start from the catalog** — pick a ready-made model (Invoice, Passport, etc.) and adapt its schema to your needs.
* **Build your own** — create a custom model from scratch for documents unique to your business.

Here are some examples of models you can build with Mindee:

## Finance & Business

* [**Invoices**](/use-cases/extraction-models/invoice.md) — Extract key data like supplier, amounts, due dates, and line items.
* [**Receipts**](/use-cases/extraction-models/receipt.md) — Capture totals, taxes, and line items for expense automation.
* [**Financial Documents**](/use-cases/extraction-models/financial-documents.md) — Handle mixed inputs such as invoices, bank statements, or pay slips in one workflow.

## Identity & Verification
