Documents are a hidden time sink

In a small business, documents are mostly handled by hand. Invoices get keyed into QuickBooks, client intake forms get retyped from PDFs into the CRM, and contracts get read line by line to find the clauses that matter. Document AI takes over that handling. The document comes in, the AI reads it, pulls out the data you need, and pushes it to the right place in your stack.

What we automate

Invoice processing

AI extracts vendor name, line items, amounts, and due dates from incoming invoices and pushes them into QuickBooks, Xero, or your accounting platform with no manual keying.

Contract review & extraction

AI scans contracts for key clauses, dates, obligations, and renewal terms, and lists them for review, so nobody reads every page to find them.

Client intake forms

PDF and web intake forms are read, structured, and pushed into your CRM the moment they arrive, with no retyping.

Receipt and expense classification

Receipts from email, photos, or uploads are read, categorized by expense type, and logged in your accounting system automatically.

Report parsing

Supplier reports, carrier invoices, and third-party data exports are parsed on a schedule and loaded into your systems in the format you need.

Document routing & filing

Incoming documents are classified by type and routed to the right folder, person, or system based on what they contain.

Where this fits

Common questions

What document types does Document AI handle?

PDFs, scanned images, Word documents, Excel files, email attachments, and web form submissions. The AI reads typed and printed text, and often handwriting, depending on how legible it is.

How accurate is the extraction?

Structured documents like invoices and forms extract most reliably. For less structured documents like contracts, the AI scores its confidence on each field so a person can check the uncertain ones. Before go-live we measure accuracy on a sample of your own documents, and we add human review wherever an error would be costly.

Where does the extracted data go?

Wherever you need it. Common destinations include QuickBooks, Xero, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Sheets, Airtable, and custom databases. We connect to whatever is already in your stack.

What about data security and confidentiality?

We treat confidentiality as a design requirement. We can deploy locally processed models for sensitive document types (legal, medical, financial) that never send data to third-party cloud services. We discuss your specific requirements during the AI Readiness Audit.

How long does it take to build?

A focused document AI automation for one document type (e.g., invoices into QuickBooks) typically takes one to two weeks in the build sprint. More complex multi-document workflows are scoped specifically during the audit.
