Batch Processing Mode
Set processing_mode=batch on upload (API) or toggle the "Batch" switch in the upload UI. Stage 1 (OCR + classification) runs immediately so documents appear in your library right away. Stage 2 (Claude extraction) is deferred to the provider's batch API for asynchronous processing.
Batch stages
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | immediate | OCR, classification, and triage run in real-time. Documents are visible in your library immediately. |
| Stage 2 | deferred | Claude extraction is queued for batch processing. Items accumulate, then submit to the batch API on a timer or threshold. |
