we built classify out of the pain of seeing customers use our extract endpoint to sort documents, which is an overkill when just need to find out what each document is. classify is a smaller, purpose-built endpoint that's:
> faster
> costs 0.5 credits per page
> has already processed nearly 1m pages.
around the same time, we also rolled out batch for less time-sensitive workloads, giving parse + extract jobs a 20% credit discount. in this video, our engineering team walks through how both came directly from patterns we saw in customer workflows!
