    An agent rebuilds your PDF letterhead: what Opus on high effort, Opus on low, a cheap model and a local 9B make of it

    <p>Kumiko has a content editor for PDF and mail templates: invoices, letters, statements. Nobody wants to rebuild their letterhead by hand in a new editor, so we added an import. You upload the PDF you use today and an agent rebuilds it as a normal, editable template. It looks at…
