AI Document Processing

Structured data from unstructured documents, with review where it matters.

01

Problem

Teams re-key data from PDFs and emails. Errors are found late, and nobody can show which value came from which page.

02

AI capability

Classify documents, extract fields, validate against rules and systems of record, and route low-confidence items to people.

03

Data

The agent works from the context you connect, not from the open internet by default.

  • Inbound documents and emails
  • Reference data and schemas
  • Systems of record for validation

04

Agent

Document Agent

Extracts and validates fields and routes exceptions to a review queue.

05

Workflow

  1. 1. Document received
  2. 2. Classify
  3. 3. Extract fields
  4. 4. Validate against rules
  5. 5. Confidence check
  6. 6. Review queue or auto-post
  7. 7. Log source for each value

06

Governance

Governance runs inside the agent at runtime: policy changes what it can actually do.

Can

  • Read incoming documents
  • Extract and validate fields
  • Write to a staging area
  • Route exceptions

Cannot

  • Post directly to restricted ledgers
  • Overwrite validated records
  • Process documents above its classification
  • Delete originals

Requires approval

  • Posting below the confidence threshold
  • New document types
  • Bulk corrections

Records

Agent identity, Data accessed, Model used, Output, Tools called, Policy applied, Decision, Approval, Action, Outcome.

Suggested starting autonomy: L2 Approve

Start at L2 with review of every batch; raise to L3 for document types with stable accuracy.

How controlled autonomy works

07

Outcome

What you measure, so the agent earns more autonomy on evidence:

  • Field-level accuracy after review
  • Share of documents needing review
  • Cycle time per document
  • Exceptions found before posting

Questions

How are uncertain extractions handled?

Below the configured confidence threshold they go to a human review queue instead of being posted.

Can we trace a value to its source?

Yes, each extracted value is recorded with its source document and location.
