Paperless-ngx is an extensive document management system. 3.0.0 has just been released.
It seems from a user/admin perspective that a lot of obsolete stuff under the hood got removed and they did some performance stuff, but it’s also full of AI features. There’s too many changes to read them all though, I wonder if there’s a blogpost or something somewhere summarizing the main changes.
Personally I’ll stay with 2.X for some days at least to see what people say about the new version. I’m not interested to have AI parse my documents, the alrogirthmic auto tagging etc works quite well.



FUCK IT THEY GOT PAPERLESS-NGX TOOO???
Fedis, what’s the best alternative?
I’m going to go ahead and try to use this comment as a teachable moment.
For one, this comment barely skirts the line to me as acceptable. If you aren’t interested in AI topics, thats what the [AIT] and [AIP] tags are for - for you, as a user, to choose what you are interested in and what you are not.
The first part of your comment, by itself, I would have simply removed. You asked for alternatives, and are being rightfully replied to pointing out that this is all under the subject of automation, which (to me) barely puts this above low effort.
If you don’t want to see AI discussions in the future, use the tags to filter. If I see more comments like this that are barely, and entirely subjectively just above low-effort, the bar is going to raise just a hair and they will be removed, as they will come across like trying to skirt the rules.
You’re asking for suggestions for an automatic document categorization tool that doesn’t use any automatic document categorization?
You don’t need a knife to make a knife, and things like OCR are different from AI (or from “AI”).
How about one that doesn’t use LLMs to code?
