## What Is Mindee V1?

Mindee is a **powerful OCR software and an API-first platform** that helps developers automate applications' workflows by standardizing the document processing layer through data recognition for key information using computer vision and machine learning.

Our mission is to provide real-time, human-level accuracy in data extraction from paper and digital documents for our customers.

Mindee V1 is actively maintained, however no new functionalities are planned.

## Mindee V1 Products In a Nutshell

### Off-the-Shelf APIs

Ready-to-use, precise and efficient data handling. Our APIs offer seamless integration and high accuracy to streamline your workflows.

**Equivalent in Mindee V2:** create a model from a template.\
Unlike with V1, you can change the fields of the resulting model to better fit your needs.

### DocTI

docTI is an LLM-based solution that enables you to create within a few minutes an API to extract the precise data and fields you need from any form of document.

**Equivalent in Mindee V2:** create a model from scratch using our AI Assistant, or by simply uploading a sample file.\
Overall accuracy is improved compared to V1, with v2 models being more advanced. In addition, better tooling is provided, allowing finer tuning of parameters.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.mindee.com/v1/get-started/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
