Outamation Advanced - AI-Powered Document Insights and Data Extraction Externship
What if AI could make sense of a 200-page mortgage blob faster than a human — and actually do something useful with it? In this externship, you’ll train models to read, extract, and search real mortgage docs using Python, OCR, and RAG. It’s document intelligence meets automation — and you're the architect.
What if you could train an AI to make sense of a 200-page mortgage document better than most professionals ever could?
Stop imagining — because that’s exactly what you’ll do in the Outamation AI-Powered Document Intelligence Externship.This isn’t your average “learn Python” type of project. You’re stepping into the mortgage industry’s biggest bottleneck — massive, messy, scanned document blobs — and building the system that solves it. From OCR to smart extraction to RAG-powered search, you’ll teach machines how to read, reason, and route information with precision.
In the time you complete this externship you'll have used the following technologies:
- Python for scripting and data processing
- PyMuPDF, pdfplumber for PDF parsing
- OpenCV, PIL for image preprocessing
- OCR Engines: Tesseract, PaddleOCR, EasyOCR
- LlamaIndex, FAISS or Chroma for vector-based retrieval
- Gemini API and open-source LLMs (Mistral, Phi-2)
- Streamlit or Gradio for optional user interface
- Google Colab for experimentation and collaboration
This isn't a sandbox. It’s real-world tough. You’ll build a production-ready pipeline, test it against actual document chaos, and maybe even deploy an interface that makes your AI usable by actual humans. If you’re ready to stop talking about AI and actually build something that matters — this is your moment!
Project Output
Here's what you'll be doing:
- Explore How AI Reads Documents: Learn how computer vision and NLP models understand and classify documents in industries like mortgage processing.
- Write Python for Document Extraction: Build scripts using PyPDF2, PyMuPDF, and pdfplumber to pull key data from unstructured PDFs.
- Build AI-Powered Search Tools: Use tools like LlamaIndex and FAISS to create search systems over embedded document content.
- Compare Open-Source AI Models: Test models like LLaMA and HuggingFace on real document tasks and share what works best.
- Deliver a Final Analysis: Package your findings into a report that showcases your tech stack, your logic, and your results.
Key deliverables for this externship will include:
- Python pipeline to process a 200+ page mortgage blob
- Structured field-level JSON output with coordinates or labels
- Fully functional RAG pipeline using Gemini or open-source models
- Optional search interface (Streamlit or Gradio)
- Final documentation, reflection report, and system demo
Turn complex documents into actionable insights with cutting-edge AI tools and real-world experience.
