1 Data Extraction AI Agent, Live in Production.
1 live agent automates data extraction within documents. It runs on demand. It publishes the inputs it needs, the steps it works through and what it hands back.

OCR Data Extractor
Read a scanned invoice or receipt and pull out the header fields and line items as structured data.
Pulling header fields and line items out of a scan as structured data
A scanned invoice is a dead end for every automated process downstream of it. Duplicate detection, three-way matching, policy checks and coding all require the fields as data, and a scan has none — so a person reads the document and types the header fields and line items into a form. The keying itself is slow, and the errors it introduces are the ones hardest to catch later, because a transposed figure in a correctly-formatted field looks exactly like a correct one. Line items are the worst of it: a multi-page invoice with thirty lines is thirty opportunities, and the practical response is often to key the total and skip the detail, which removes the line-level checking entirely.
OCR Data Extractor reads a scanned invoice or receipt and pulls out the header fields and line items as structured data. Extracting the line items rather than only the header is what makes the downstream checks possible — a total alone cannot be matched against a purchase order line or tested against a spend policy. One agent covers this process, and its output is data for review rather than a posting: the extraction is a candidate, and the checks that decide whether it is right belong to the agents in Finance that consume it.
What this moves
- Manual keying per scanned document
- Header fields and line items are extracted as structured data, so a scan becomes a record without someone reading it into a form.
- Documents that can enter an automated process
- A scanned invoice or receipt becomes machine-readable, which is the prerequisite for every downstream check that currently cannot run on paper.

Where data extraction fits in documents
Whatever arrives — scanned PDFs, tables, photographs, awkward multi-column layouts — gets read and turned into structured data, without a template per supplier.

Deploying data extraction agents
These run as-is against the inputs listed above. Most deployments adapt one — a different source system, a different tolerance, a different approval path. The first call establishes which.
