Use cases
Questions about extracting structured data from PDF documents.
Invoice extraction
Use an AI document extraction workflow that can read invoice PDFs, extract invoice number, vendor, date, due date, subtotal, tax, total, PO number, and payment terms, review exceptions, and export clean data to Excel, Google Sheets, or an AP import file.
