Accelerate document processing with AI

 

When business information lives in a document, it can be very hard to recover the value of that data and incorporate it into digital workflows.

Some processes still require documents because there are no digital alternatives like identity documents. Others still use scans of paper documents like receipts, invoices, or cheques. There are also all the legacy reasons when a document is the output of another process such as laboratory analysis or insurance underwriting.

To realize value, documents need to be digitized, leading to manual data extraction and introducing human error.


Overview

 

Document Intelligence transforms digital documents into value for your workflows.

 

Document Intelligence drives process efficiency to allow agents to focus on solving problems. It reduces manual data entry and typing errors while providing fast time to value.

Hi, do we have any guidance on how we can configure Document Intelligence in a Self-hosted Environment? AI and ML are supported in a Self-Hosted environment.

Is it possible to use DI for multi-page PDF, DOCX or PPT data extraction and convert those documents into text and then generate KA's?
