🌐 Google LangExtract Precise Grounding

Google LangExtract is an open-source Python library that transforms unstructured text documents into verified structured JSON data while mapping every single extracted point to its exact character location in the original text.

⚡ 3-Step Extraction Workflow

Step 1: Input Document	Step 2: AI Grounding Action	Step 3: Verifiable Result
Load chaotic text or financial PDF file	Schema enforcement & multi-pass character offset mapping	Structured JSON with 100% verifiable source character spans

📥 Sample Document Setup (Required)

Before running the pipeline, create your input document in the root directory:

1. Create File: Create a text file named NVIDIA_Q4_FY25_Financial_Report.txt in the root folder.
2. Add Content: Copy and paste any corporate press release, SEC filing, earnings report, or clinical note text into NVIDIA_Q4_FY25_Financial_Report.txt.
3. (Alternatively, configure INPUT_DOCUMENT in main.py to point to any custom text file).

🚀 Quick Start & Installation

Run these copy-pasteable commands in your Windows PowerShell terminal:

# 1. Create and activate a Python virtual environment
python -m venv venv
.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

# 2. Install Google LangExtract and LLM provider SDKs
pip install langextract google-genai openai

# 3. Pull the local Ollama model (Optional for local execution)
ollama pull qwen3:4b

# 4. Execute the financial extraction pipeline
python main.py

🔑 LLM Provider Configuration & Setup Guide

LangExtract supports Ollama (local), Google Gemini, and OpenAI. Configure your preferred provider in main.py:

Option A: Local Ollama (Zero API Costs)

• Ensure Ollama is running locally (ollama serve).
• In main.py, set MODEL_PROVIDER = "ollama" and specify your model (e.g. OLLAMA_MODEL = "qwen3:4b").

Option B: Google Gemini API (Recommended for Cloud Speed)

1. Go to Google AI Studio.
2. Click Create API Key and copy your key string.
3. Set your environment variable in PowerShell:

   $env:GEMINI_API_KEY="your_gemini_api_key_here"

4. In main.py, set MODEL_PROVIDER = "gemini" and OLLAMA_MODEL = "gemini-2.5-flash".

🛠️ Code Architecture & File Explanation

• main.py: Reads the target financial document, initializes the schema-enforced Extractor, executes character offset grounding, measures latency per query, and exports the final verified findings.
• .env: Stores local system parameters and cloud provider credentials securely.
