Automated extraction, classification, and structuring of information from diverse document types using AI. Also called IDP or document intelligence.
Overview
IDP pipelines: ingest (PDF, Word, image) → OCR → layout analysis (headers, tables, figures) → classification → extraction → validation → structured output.
