AnyDoc is announced as an open-source local document parser for agents
The author describes a Rust tool spanning PDF, office, and other formats, but its repository, format coverage, and performance claims were not independently inspected.
Overview
Nick Camara announced AnyDoc as an open-source, local document parser for agents. The author says the Rust-based tool converts PDF, DOCX, PPTX, and ten additional formats to Markdown and powers Firecrawl's parse endpoint, but no repository, documentation, or benchmark was independently inspected in the supplied evidence.
