  • Provides confidence scores for each extracted field with alternative values

​
Custom Object Management

Define your own data schemas tailored to your business:
  • Create source record definitions for document-based data (invoices, contracts, etc.)
  • Build custom objects with primary keys, formulas, and field validations
  • Set up workflows that route documents to the right extraction pipeline
  • Configure triggers based on email properties, document classifications, or data conditions

​
Multi-Tenant Architecture

Enterprise-grade security and isolation:
  • Company-scoped data - All data is isolated by company ID

  • Audit trails - Complete history of all data modifications
  • API key authentication - Secure programmatic access to your data

​
Integration Capabilities

Access your data programmatically:
  • REST API with cursor-based pagination for efficient data retrieval

How It Works

​
1. Document Upload

Documents enter the system through multiple channels:
  • Email forwarding - Forward emails to your company-specific address
  • Direct upload - Upload files through the web interface
  • Supported formats - PDF, images, Excel, Word documents

  • Confidence levels - Each classification includes a confidence score (high/medium/low)
  • Document splitting - Multi-page PDFs are intelligently split into logical documents
  • Trigger matching - Classified documents route to the appropriate workflows

​
3. Data Extraction

Structured data extraction using your custom schemas:
  • LLM-powered extraction - Uses advanced language models (GPT-4, Gemini, Claude)
  • Schema validation - Extracted data conforms to your defined field types
  • Confidence scoring - Each field includes confidence metrics and alternatives
  • Human review workflows - Low-confidence extractions can route to review queues

​
4. Access and Integration

Your data becomes immediately accessible:
  • Web interface - View and edit records in the dashboard
